Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Difference between revisions

** Played straight with the ''males'' of the Brotherhood of the Badoon. Somehow, though, [[Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism|the females of the race are neither reptilian nor evil]].

* A lot of [[Jungle Princess]] comics have our heroines fighting savage snakes and carnivorous crocodiles.

* The Lizard League, ''[[Invincible]]'''s [[Alternate Company Equivalent]] to the Serpent Society.

* Teknophage from ''[[Mr. Hero the Newmatic Man]]'' is an obvious one. A [[Magnificent Bastard]], as well as [[Chessmaster]] as the ruler of many multiverses, including his home planet Kalighoul.

{{quote| ''The Cimmerian recoiled, remembering tales he had heard -- serpents were sacred to Set, god of Stygia, who men said was himself a serpent. Monsters such as this were kept in the temples of Set, and when they hungered, were allowed to crawl forth into the streets to take what prey they wished. Their ghastly feasts were considered a sacrifice to the scaly god.''}}

* ''[[Dark Heavens]]'': "Some of my best friends are snakes."

{{quote| "Mammals. Why did it have to be mammals?" }}

* Subverted, invoked, ''and'' reconstructed in ''[[Dreamsnake]]'': Someone's violent phobia of snakes is what kicks off the [[Frontier Doctor]] heroine's troubles. And while she views her cobra and rattlesnake (which serve as her medical kit) as both [[Cool Pet|pets]] and essential tools, not even ''she'' can find anything likable about the dangerous, ill-tempered, and downright ugly sand vipers.
