hmm… ox, tiger, snake…
And if the Raccoon is Procyon lotor… then that would fill the dog slot. Thus we have yet to meet the dragon, rabbit, monkey, rooster, pig, rat, goat, and horse of the crew.
Taking bets on the rooster being the one outside on the dance floor?
What would REALLY break the stereotype? The Snake Guy is actually the morality pet for his OWN boss, who’s a murderous psycho SHEEP dude. WITH WHITE FUR.
Make something witty and everyone thinks it’s something dumber? I know that feel, snake man.
Side note: normally that smile in panel 5 would seem IMMENSELY CREEPY, but for some reason all I can think is that it’s nice that he’s so enthusiastic about something.
Pretty smooth, Steffi, smooth.
And no one is totally noticing how you’re so nervous that your mask is sweating…
As long as you don’t turn around and -well looky there, are those katana blades?
W-what are those doing on the wall?? H-hehe..
Natrix just seems enthusiastic that he has some customers, I should be creeped out, but he just looks pretty happy that he has costomers.
My veiw on him will probably change when he stings them asleep with his tongue or something.
Huh. So Wikipedia tells me that the grass snake is “Natrix natrix.”
And apparently Tigris is the species name for like, a dozen species. And a lot of them aren’t even cats!
So I’m calling apathetic bartender-girl TigerPants. (Panthera Tigris, the well-known Tiger.)
He’s got scales and black eyes and sharpened teeth. He’s gambling in the back room of a criminal hangout, and he’s wearing a cheap suit. And he has the creepiest smile EVER. I’m not sure how much more villainous he could be. Maybe try re-reading his lines in the voice and inflections of Joe Pesci, the short guy from Goodfellas. That’s how I imagine his voice. (You know who that is, even if you’ve never seen Goodfellas, you have heard imitations of him. Click my name to watch the Goodfellas “funny guy” scene on Youtube.)
Of course, Natrix, Taurus, Tigris and Devil Bouncer worry me as well, and it’s not because of their looks but what they’re supposed (and imagined) to be capable of.
Why do people trust him? He’s a salesman, he’s used to getting people like him. My verdict is out on whether or not he’s actually evil, but I’m still suspicious of his friendliness.

Completely and totally agreed. I mean, wasn’t Tigris’ warning enough of a tip-off? And she’s just the messenger. I’d expect the *real* businessman to be even more intimidating, once his nice mask comes off. And of course Taurus is the threatening muscle of the group.
Is that a chinese zodiac reference?

You’re forgetting Aries,the Ram.
Wrong zodiac. Aries is from the Greek zodiac, while ArtyD was talking about the Chinese zodiac.
Natrix is creepy. Maybe if I think of that thing like a hat…nope. Still creepy.
Cube you can make about anything cute.
My thought, too. Cube has made a reptile man look pretty good. accent on pretty. He gets a hug for that last panel.
Poor guy. I kinda hope that he’ll break stereotype and turn out to be a Good Guy.
or like, the “happy” kind of bad guy where at least he’s nice about it.

Would he where uggs?
I totally knew it wasn’t a Matrix thing!*
*that is a lie.
That Natrix guy seems like a total snake.
….I’m not sorry.

Not that I can really blame him. I mean, I get a freaky wide-eyed demon smile too when I’m excited. No, seriously. It’s rather irritating.
It’s the ‘YES! Finally! Someone ALREADY KNEW!’ smile.
Not creepy at all. (at least in context, out of that context it can become very scary)
tigris?
you using Kung Fu Panda Cube?
if they are a zodiac thing whats the dragon
ok I can’t use HTML nothing new here “?” was suppose to be Hippocampus with the reference link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seahorse
ahh…
then will a stray cat break into the scene?
Pretty smooth, Steffi, smooth.

Steffi, you really shouldn’t have taken a costume that sweats.
How in Hades does a costume sweat? (Unless this is a futuristic “technical” feature?)
- BWB
I do wonder what codenames they will take.
Big Bad Wolf, with Hopper and the Cat Smeow?
Huh, he doesn’t SEEM too evil.
That’s basically what I thought, too. He could be really good at appearing friendly… Or is there something else?
Of course, if the only bad thing to him is the illegal body moding, maybe he considers what he does not actually bad.
*continues to theory as she watches*
Tried posting this hours ago, but it didn’t work. So I return with the question: Is that PC running firefox os?
Aww, Natrix reminds me of T. natrix from the King Arthur story.
I approve of Natrix immensely. Especially in the fifth panel.
Huh. So Wikipedia tells me that the grass snake is “Natrix natrix.”
And apparently Tigris is the species name for like, a dozen species. And a lot of them aren’t even cats!
So I’m calling apathetic bartender-girl TigerPants. (Panthera Tigris, the well-known Tiger.)
More reading tells me that we need to worry about Natrix’s ability to play dead and bleed from his mouth and nose to seem more dead.
Oh, and “produce a garlic-smelling fluid from the anal glands.”
So yeah. Watch out for those natural defenses of his. Good thing he didn’t want to be like, a venomous snake or anything.
OH DEAR LORD.
A little knowledge once again proves dangerous…
I dunno why, but I start to like Natrix…
Too bad he’s one of the bad guys…
the logo on the computer reminds me of something.
Well, that certainly seems to hold up the “he’s one of the scientists that do the spicing” theory.
Gotta say, Natrix is pretty chill. Kinda thought he’d be, y’know, villainous, but I think Natrix seems a pretty cool guy.
He’s got scales and black eyes and sharpened teeth. He’s gambling in the back room of a criminal hangout, and he’s wearing a cheap suit. And he has the creepiest smile EVER.

The daisho (Japanese sword set) worries me.
Of course, Natrix, Taurus, Tigris and Devil Bouncer worry me as well, and it’s not because of their looks but what they’re supposed (and imagined) to be capable of.
I learned about the scientific name “Natrix” here and yesterday I could use that knowledge in a game of Trivial Pursuit.
Thank you Kiwi Blitz, for your educational value!

I thought Natrix was supposed to be like “nature” but with an X to make it sound cool.
All of you that were theorizing that he didn’t have legs, take a close look at panel four.
You can see them better in panel one.
TIL: what a Natrix is…
Is it weird while I’m reading Natrix’s dialogue,I’m reading it with the voice of Orochimaru from Naruto?
