Happy inktober, everyone! This is the first inktober I've been able to fully participate in, and I'm excited to really improve upon my inking skills. I'm planning on doing a list of cryptids A - Z with a bonus of my 5 favorites at the end! A is for the Arabhar, a flying snake said to live near the Arabian Sea. There are various beliefs surrounding the nature of its flying abilities. Some say it has bat-like wings, while others say it uses a flap or spine to glide through the air. Some skeptics believe that these accounts may have just seen a snake belonging to the genus Chrysopelea, which are known to "fly" from tree to tree by jumping through the air.
