RiACU - Red-Bellied Black Snake

“RiACU raises her head from the warm rock upon which she has rested all afternoon. A slight breeze has slipped across her tail, moving up the mountain. Sensing a cool change, she uses her THERMOREGULATION Power to maximise the last of the sun's rays, but she must be wary: Apex Wing species like AUDAX are never far away. Whilst she can be active during daylight or night, it is becoming cold: better to find a hollow to rest in until the morning.
