Cobra
Two snakes, mirror images of each other, swaying and twisting as they grow, with fins along their sides and a pearl in a ring between them. Inspired by Cobra, a DancerDNA creature.

Its family
Each one is the same program with different genes. In the app, Morph glides from one to the next, and Breed starts from them.
