Art style: Realistic wildlife documentary.
A large, imposing venomous snake characterized by a distinctly flared hood around its head. Its smooth scales are intricately patterned with varied shades of brown, yellow, orange, and tan, providing natural camouflage in a desert environment. The eyes are cold, dark, and unblinking, with a dark forked tongue occasionally flicking from its mouth. The bright lighting heavily emphasizes the glossy, reflective texture of its muscular scales under the harsh sun, set against a sun-baked, sandy terrain with dry, cracked earth.
