Snakes, Serpents, or Sneks are limbless reptiles that resemble scaled noodles that first emerged during the late Jurassic period. Since prehistory they have caught the imagination of mankind for being pretty cool and/or cute.

They have appeared in mythology and religion in many different roles. They are associated with evil, greed, and deceit as well as cleverness, knowledge, and healing. In the Bible it was a snake that introduced evil to mankind.
