I like to think that Arbok's hood patterns are influenced by their environment. When they evolve, they can take on the markings of their parent, or they take after the trainer who raised them. OR maybe the most intimidating thing they've seen

The laughter the last panel gave me omg hahahahahahahaha

WAIT THIS IS GENIUS

i assume in this case, it's all 3

It might just be the migraine talking, but seeing the markings I just had that “I’m sexy and I know it” song start playing in my head for Arbok. It fits.

This is great 👍😆.

I love this so much oh my goodness gracious me

James is about to die! I love that idea!

This is so good, I love it

Or, the markings hint at the Stage 3 evolution and where it’s headed.

Arbok is too precious on your art ^^
