This line was originally Aspen and Vineper (Grass/Dragon) but I changed my mind at literally the last minute of drawing it when I liked how the cobra hood and spikes were coming out.

    Upon first read, I pronounced it as tangeh-LOBE-ra. So now you have a third option. I gotta say, it's refreshing seeing a snake Pokemon that isn't Poison-type but then you've always been really creative with your Gaiien mons! ^_^
