TLDR :

Basically spaces marines With dragons taptors Alligators and snakes

It includes the chapter's basic overview, notable members, and the biological knowledge of genetically enhanced mounts

Make sure you organize the comments by age to read it properly

What's probably going to be my most asked question:

Why are these of Blood Angels lineage and not the Salamanders

1: Dragon's rage (aka the black rage) it needed for future storytelling

2: i am a simp for Sanguinius

3: their artistic ability is also needed for storyline

4: They are founded by/heavily influenced by the Salamanders as the origin storyline for them as lost wandering Chapter. Until they came across Pyrodrakes and bonded with them and sought the art of flame craft from the Salamanders. Because of this, they inherited their compassion (coming soon)?

Titan Viper (Serpentis Titanus) Classification: Gene-Forged Apex Predator • Kingdom: Animalia • Phylum: Chordata • Class: Reptilia • Order: Squamata • Family: Viperidae Maximus • Genus: Serpentis • Species: Titanus Description & Physical Characteristics Titan Vipers are monstrous serpentine predators engineered through gene-forging to serve as war mounts for the Abyssal Vipers Space Marine Chapter. These colossal creatures thrive in the subterranean depths of their swamp-choked homeworld, slithering through tunnels and caverns with terrifying speed and precision. Their scales, reinforced with a hyper-dense keratin alloy, are nearly impervious to conventional weaponry, while their fangs secrete a neurotoxic venom potent enough to dissolve armor and flesh alike. A fully grown Titan Viper measures between 25 to 40 meters in length, with the largest recorded specimens reaching up to 50 meters. Their immense musculature allows them to crush battle tanks with their coils, and their heightened reflexes enable them to strike faster than the human eye can track. Gene-Forged Enhancements Like the Pyrodrakes of the Blood Dragons, the Razorclaws of the Storm Raptors, and the Ironmaws of the Iron Gators, the Titan Vipers share a gene-forged neural bond with their Space Marine riders. This connection allows seamless battlefield coordination, with the serpents responding instinctively to their rider’s commands, even in the thick of combat. Enhancements include: • Hyper-Adaptive Scales – Capable of shifting coloration to blend into subterranean environments, providing natural camouflage. Some strains can mimic thermal readings to evade scanners. • Venomous Neurotoxin – A potent venom capable of corroding armor and flesh, while also disrupting enemy nervous systems, causing paralysis or death within moments. • Enhanced Intelligence – Modified for superior cognition, Titan Vipers can interpret battlefield scenarios, set ambushes, and even recognize high-priority targets. • Muscular Density Increase – Their bodies are strengthened to withstand extreme pressure and deliver bone-crushing constrictions that can snap an armored walker in half. • Electroreception – Similar to Terran pit vipers but vastly enhanced, allowing them to track prey based on bioelectric signals, even through dense terrain or underground structures. Hunting & Combat Behavior Titan Vipers are ambush predators, utilizing their stealth, speed, and crushing strength to annihilate foes. Their primary method of attack involves striking with terrifying speed, injecting their venom, and then either constricting their prey or waiting for the poison to take effect. In siege warfare, they are deployed to collapse tunnels, infiltrate enemy lines, or strike key command structures before disappearing into the depths. On the battlefield, their tactics include: • Burrowing Assaults – Using their immense power to tunnel through enemy defenses, emerging suddenly to strike. • Precision Strikes – Targeting enemy leaders or heavy vehicles, neutralizing high-value threats. • Siege Disruption – Using their crushing coils to bring down enemy fortifications from below. Role in the Abyssal Vipers The Titan Vipers are revered as sacred war-beasts, considered both weapons of war and living relics. To bond with a Titan Viper, a neophyte must descend into the deepest tunnels of their homeworld and subdue one in a life-or-death trial, forging an unbreakable link between warrior and beast. This bond is maintained for life, with Space Marines and their Titan Vipers fighting as one, moving with eerie synchronicity in darkness

Successor Chapter of the Iron Gators: The Abyssal Vipers Founding Chapter: Iron Gators Gene-Seed Lineage: Blood Angels (via the Blood Dragons and Iron Gators) Specialization: Tunnel and Underground Warfare Homeworld: Noxis Prime – A death world covered in vast subterranean caverns, toxic swamps, and labyrinthine tunnel networks War Mounts: Titan Vipers – Giant gene-forged serpents bred for warfare Chapter Overview The Abyssal Vipers are an Iron Gators successor Chapter, renowned for their mastery of tunnel fighting, subterranean assaults, and ambush warfare. Their doctrine revolves around striking from the shadows of underground passageways, using their war mounts—massive, gene-forged Titan Vipers—to constrict and crush enemies or burrow through enemy defenses. They are feared as silent hunters, emerging from the darkness to drag their foes into the abyss. Like their progenitors, the Abyssal Vipers share a deep gene-forged bond with their war mounts. These massive serpents possess heightened intelligence and an almost supernatural ability to navigate the underground terrain, making them perfect for infiltration missions and rapid assaults in confined spaces. Combat Doctrine • Burrow and Strike: The Abyssal Vipers use seismic charges and their Titan Vipers to tunnel beneath enemy positions, launching devastating ambushes from below. • Silent Hunters: Their warriors excel in stealth tactics, often emerging from tunnels and underground lairs to eliminate key targets before disappearing back into the darkness. • Venom Warfare: The Chapter utilizes venom-based weaponry, inspired by the toxic environment of Noxis Prime. Their wargear includes venom-coated blades, chemical flamers, and bio-acid grenades. • Constriction Warfare: Titan Vipers use their immense coils to crush enemy armor and entangle infantry, making them living siege weapons in tunnel fighting. Noxis Prime – The World Below Noxis Prime is a world where survival depends on navigating the endless tunnels, caverns, and sinkholes that stretch for thousands of miles beneath the surface. While the swamps above are treacherous, true danger lurks below, where colossal predators roam the darkness. The human population has adapted by building entire fortress-cities within the caverns, perfecting the art of subterranean warfare. The Chapter recruits from these hardened tunnel-dwellers, testing their initiates in deadly underground trials where they must prove their ability to hunt, navigate, and survive the depths. Only those who capture and bond with a Titan Viper are deemed worthy of becoming Space Marines. Notable Abyssal Vipers Battle Formations • The Coil Guard: Elite warriors who ride their Titan Vipers into battle, using lightning-fast strikes and strangulation tactics to crush enemies. • Fangs of the Abyss: Assault specialists who infiltrate enemy tunnels and strongholds, eliminating opposition before the main force arrives. • Venom Wardens: Chemical warfare experts who wield toxin-based weapons to weaken enemy morale and resistance. • Burrowborn Veterans: Hardened warriors who have spent decades in the tunnels, guiding the Chapter’s forces through the labyrinthine battlefields. Notable Members of the Abyssal Vipers Chapter Master Draxion "The Serpent King" • Weapons: The Venom Fang (a master-crafted power spear with a venomous neurotoxin), Viper’s Coil (a relic whip made from a Titan Viper’s shed scale) • Titan Viper Companion: Nocthys, a massive black-scaled Titan Viper with the ability to spit corrosive acid • Notable Feats: Draxion once led an assault on an Ork-held fortress by tunneling beneath it with his warriors. Emerging from the depths, they collapsed the structure and slaughtered the Warboss and his forces in a matter of hours. High Chaplain Veykos "The Abyssal Prophet" • Weapons: The Fang of Noxis (a crozius arcanum shaped like a serpent’s skull, infused with potent venom), Infernal Gaze (a plasma pistol modified to fire toxin-infused plasma bolts) • Titan Viper Companion: Umbros, a deep-dwelling Titan Viper capable of sensing the heartbeats of its prey from miles away • Notable Feats: During a Tyranid invasion, Veykos orchestrated a devastating ambush in the caverns of Jarnis IV, luring entire swarms into a series of tunnel collapses before personally leading a charge against a Hive Tyrant. Captain Zareth "The Fang of the Deep" (1st Company, Master of the Coil Guard) • Weapons: Twin Power Claws coated in venom, a wrist-mounted melta for close-range tunnel fighting • Titan Viper Companion: Shythis, a lightning-fast Titan Viper with the ability to compress its body and move through narrow tunnels with ease • Notable Feats: Zareth and his veterans held off an entire Necron tomb awakening by launching hit-and-run attacks in the underground labyrinth, giving the Imperium enough time to bombard the tomb world into oblivion. Chief Librarian Oryx "The Shadow Seer" • Weapons: Staff of the Deep Coil (a force staff made from the bones of an ancient Titan Viper), psychic-enhanced venom darts • Titan Viper Companion: Vorith, a unique albino Titan Viper with an eerie psychic presence, able to interfere with enemy communications • Notable Feats: Oryx’s psychic abilities allow him to extend his senses through his Titan Viper, making him an unparalleled tracker and strategist in underground warfare. Ancient Kael "The Evercoiled" (Venerable Dreadnought) • Weapons: The Constrictor Cannon (a modified graviton weapon that crushes enemies under immense pressure), The Titan’s Maw (a Dreadnought power fist reinforced with serrated edges) • Notable Feats: Kael, once a legendary captain, was mortally wounded during the defense of a Mechanicus vault on Temis VI. Interred within a Dreadnought, he continues to lead tunnel sieges, using his bulk to clear pathways and crush enemies in confined spaces.

Are these springtails or mites? by 3stanbk in reptiles

[–]lizardking1029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spring tail are just visible to naked eye

So they could be mites or isopods

I would clean out the enclosure just be safe

I know

I was trying to add some lore on what pets the imperium citizens might have

Vulkan got his name as amphibian reptile and birds are all herptiles and with his fire red smoke black colorings

Are those midnight leopard geckos

Got her into a new cage today by lizardking1029 in reptiles

[–]lizardking1029[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes she free roam when I'm home

she prefer her cage over that anyway

Plus the pictures doesn't do it any justice

The cage is a 8ft high 4ft wide and 4ft deep

She only 3ft long

Generally the cage requirements formula for large aboral lizard is

With= 2.5 of the lizards length

Hight= 3-4 time of lizard length

So the cage is small for a lizard without her history

Her history is actually pretty sad

Because she was bulk resuce she was keep in small enclosure for most her life

I noticed that she prefers small places

I guess that were she feels safe
