Biography[]
Backstory[]
At some point, the Oh-So-Snake began living in the basement of Osohe Castle. It's unknown whether this was before or after its inhabitants perished. It's unlikely Wess left the snake there, as he appears unaware of its presence before seeing it.
Chapter 2[]
When Wess, Duster and Kumatora find the Egg of Light, their victory is short-lived as the Pigmask Army corners them. Kumatora recklessly snatches the Hummingbird Egg, but Wess soon reveals to her that he placed traps to make sure no one steals the egg. A trap door opens, sending them all to the basement of Osohe. There are piles of skulls likely belonging to other unsuspecting people who fell victim to the snake. After they reunite with the egg however, their celebration is short-lived as the snake emerges from the water and attacks. A long battle commences, until the snake is ultimately defeated and the trio once again celebrate a short-lived victory before Fassad and Salsa pull the basement lever, causing them all to be sent out of the snake's watery domain. It's unknown what happens to the snake after this, as it never shows up outside of battle.
Trivia[]
