I feel so sorry for Reptiles, they keep getting the shaft in this game and have been so for years. I thought about making this card a Link Monster, but it wouldn't serve the purpose I want it to have as a Boss for Reptiles, and I just think it looks cooler as an Xyz Monster. This card is meant to be a beater with 2800 ATK, take Reptiles out of either the Main Deck or Extra Deck (as long as its a Pendulum Monster), and then add it to the hand while you draw a card, or just Special Summon it regardless of its Summoning conditions, or it can become a poor-man's Trishula by destroying 3 of your opponent's cards from their hand, their field, or their Main OR Extra Decks. Oh, I named this card after what is alleged the "13th Astrological Constellation" Ohiuchus the Snake-Bearer, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiuchus_(astrology)and I made it a LIGHT Rank 4 Xyz Monster so it can share some relation to both the Constellars and the tellarknights which each of those archetypes relates to the Constellations. I just want Reptiles to be useful for something, hope this helps.
