October 2026

The Lion and the Shepard

 What better way to start October than with a Nurgle picture of Tel'la Wiltaker and Experiment #3 (Or Plagueclaw)

No need to worry. Wiltaker is very happy to show you what wonders the plague has to show.

She may even have 7 gifts to give.

Pyrénée Protein

Pyrénée managed to get snuck up on and hypnotized by Kaa the serpent.

Kaa, indulging in catching the rare jungle girl, toyed with her, flinging her around his coils like a devil-stick, twisting his loops around her while keeping her suspended midair, making her pull faces.

Once he was done, he rested her on the soft grass in order to start eating.

The problem is (For Pyrénée) is that his delay in eating her had given the hypnosis enough time to start dispersing, and allowing her consciousness to come back.

This would be to her advantage if Kaa hadn't already gobbled her knuckles in his gullet, with a few loops assisting in binding the rest of her arms tight enough for her to not swing a single punch.

Now all she can do is wait for him to finish pulling her into his cold, wet gullet.

A Green Fairy

What if instead of finding the Pink & Blue thieving fairy named Meral, Taraoichi happened upon a more chipper green fairy that was more than willing to help the one-eyed boy take revenge against the girl who killed his father.

If ya know. You know.

South & East: Alternative Ending

What if all those peaceful Chihiro + Kaa stuff I did were all the hypnotic hallucinations of Ogino as she was being digested alive by Kaa in their first meetup, the anti-bug cream having no effect in saving her.
And to make matters worse, she wakes up to realise it.

Baby Food

Keira was out hunting with her bow before she got surprised attacked by a Titanoboa, which wrapped her tail at great speed around Keira's chest and next, pulling her arms in and being capable of snapping Keira's neck with one quick tug.

The huntress was scared, and also confused. A full grown adult was normally ignored by these massive serpents for being 'Too Small' to be a suitable meal, much less Keira who was only 12. Surely she'd be digested way to quickly to be worth the hunt.

She found herself dragged effortless from the hunting ground and into the more dangerous neck of the woods, only to be pulled into a pit.

The head of the Titanoboa stayed elevated at the top. 

Looking around, Keira noticed the ditch was housing giant eggs.

"My precioussss babies are soon going to hatch." The Titanoboa said without provocation. "Many of them will go out in search for food, but I wissssh to be sure at least one will keep ssssafe. And you are the perfect ssssize for a sssstarter meal."

Keira wiggled to try and see if she could slip, not only was that clearly not going to work as is, but she could feel the coil grip getting even tighter when she tried. Keira stopped moving to not provoke the snake mother.

All she could hope for now was for the eggs to hatch and hopefully ALL the babies would slither off.

She was lucky so far with the first two eggs hatching. The babies came out of the eggs, exited the hole and left into the forest without having noticed the human morsel nearby.

This didn't appear to be the case with the third egg, the baby snake eyeballing her right away.

Will the baby simply sniff Keira and leave?

Or will Keira be the easiest starting meal for the newborn to crush and devour?

Savannah's Suffocation

The wild Savannah girl had been 'playing' with the local snakes for quite awhile, allowing herself to get squeezed, often times very close to the brink of death, as the relief of surviving was a very nirvana-like experience every time.

But while it was always a risk that she'd get something permanently broken when interacting with these snakes, she would have assumed it would be an accident.

Little did she anticipate, until it was too late, that the snakes in the snake-pit, would very much intentionally kill her, deciding they weren't interested in keeping this partnership going especially long term, instead of squeezing her living and breathing body for 10 minutes, they will crush it all day and night, long after she was dead and gone.

Grandma's Kisses

The sickly old cabin lady opened the door when she heard her granddaughter knock and introduce herself past it. She didn't expect additional company, but to her quickly passing horror, Little Red had been captured and hypnotized on the route to the cabin by the devious Kaa the Python.

Red herself would have been the snakes meal if Kaa didn't realize why Red had been passing through the woods alone with a basket of goods.

While Kaa wasn't merciful enough to leave kids alone if he was really hungry, he took the slightly more noble route and spared Red in exchange for the elderly. Red had probable decades upon decades worth of life to live, her Grandma on the other hand likely wouldn't have had 15 years at best.

Hopefully if he's nice enough, he'll hypnotize red to sleepwalk back home having no idea she had any assistance in getting her grandma eaten.

Tragic End

Your overseas trip with your father was a boring mess, but finally you get to return home to Britain.

Only you don't make it home, the ship crashes and gets beached on an uncharted island. With your father injured, and the other two cremates unable to swim, it was up to you, and you only to venture into the dangerous woods in search for the right palm to help with repairs.

Just as soon as you get out of screaming distance, your feet start sinking into quickmud, but you don't sink all the way in, instead a python tangled in the trees above takes advantage of your predicament and makes a few coils around you. Powerful enough to pull you out of the mud, but not before half your body is squished inside its stomach.

You can scream all you want for help, but only three people in the entire world have even the general idea where you are, and they're all too far away to get to you in time?

[Such was almost the fate of Emma Sharp]

Danger Close

As the Tunche gang made great progress across the rainforest, they set up a campfire for the night and Pancho started playing music for his wonderful friends.

Nayra was the first to call it a night and hopped a few feet away from the fire to get some shuteye.

While the rest of the adventures sang along to the music and were having a great time, none of them had noticed their teammate had got surprised attacked by a hungry snake.

The constriction prevented Nayra from making much noise, she couldn't directly call for help, only wheeze, she could tussle about a bit, but that didn't make much noise either.

Even still, it would have been enough at close range for someone to notice, but everyone else was too loud and too distracted to notice their friend dying only a few feet away.

Can Nayra be rescued in time?

'Alone' in the Woods

Jumeirah didn't wonder far away from her Grandpas camp, she was just a quick hike down the dirt road, picking beautiful flowers by the river. If anything dangerous came prowling, she could call for help with one quick scream.

Or so she thought.

With her eyes fixated on the nodiflora, she didn't notice a large shadow from the water coming her way.

The tail of a massive old serpent flung out from the water and pulled her in.

Jumeirah lacked even a 10th of the strength of Kaa and wouldn't have been able to pull herself out of the water had the python not pulled her up herself, albeit entangled in his loops.

He hardly tightened his coils, and yet her breathing capacity was cut off, air was leaving her mouth but not entering. Her arms were bruising, he waist and legs which started off very cold from the water chill was going numb.
Even her thoughts were going blank. The blood rush was becoming so intense that she could barely stay conscious, much less even TRY and call for help.

As for Kaa's perspective, he didn't see the granddaughter of a nearby camper. To him it was yet another man-cub out and about lost in the jungle. The nearest village being a long ways away and something Jumeriah would likely never safely reach if left to her own devices even without Kaa being in the picture.

But where the same was true of baby Mowgli when he first met that man-cub, Kaa's stomach was full when that first encounter happened, and since then Mowgli had become to good a friend to Kaa for him to even consider putting into his gob.

Jumeirah would not have that same luck. Kaa's belly was not full, and better to meet her fate in his grip then be shredded by the claws or fangs of many other beasts prowling the woods.

Sadder still, even if Grandfather Rahhar were to show up the next second, he probably couldn't save her.

SnakeWoods

With her brother saved, and peace being restored to Wildwoods, Prue was ready to finish getting her farewells in order before heading back to her home in Portland, when suddenly she was snatched by a resident of the forest that carried her up to the tree.

An impressively large snake, it wound her up in his coils and secured her on a thick branch.

"Sssso, you're the hero of the land. Quite sssscrawny, but I guesssss your magic could be very powerful."

Before Prue was able to utter a word of protest to her suspected predicament, the snakes tail took her boots off with no hassle and began tickling her bare soles

"I could in all likely have died during thissss ivy conflict, so allow me to part my own thankssss to you man-cub."

[So I know what many of you are thinking, Phantomgline! This is your horror month, shouldn't you have waited until November to post this?

Well, I ain't waiting until the months over to tell you lot to go see Wildwood, solid movie.]

A Terrible Fate

Good thing in the Zelda Universe, Dead Hand appear to be confined to the darkness of underground ruins.

How terrifying if it/they surfaced.

Quickie: Cindys Cessation 

Looking for some spot of safe refuge, Jimmy Neutron noticed a drop in temperature and investigated on the hunch water was nearby, too distracted to realize his friend had been captured and squeezed in the coils of a massive python.

Sure enough, Jim did indeed find the water and called out to Cindy.

But didn't spot her.

Little did he know, the river he found was being used by the snake as a means of helpful transportation, as he carried Cindy in his belly, deeper and deeper into the dark woods.

 Kaa's Creepy Cubs

Erma and Geiko venturing out in the woods by themselves usually isn't a hassle as they are both capable of defending themselves from the dangerous animals.

But what should happen when one animal has magically powers that make them obedient?
