V1 The Tsuchinoko (ツチノコ or 槌の子) meaning "hammerspawn", is a legendary snake-like cryptid from Japan. The name [i]tsuchinoko[/i] is prevalent in Western Japan, including Kansai and Shikoku; the creature is known as [i]bachi hebi[/i] (バチヘビ) in Northeastern Japan.

Tsuchinoko are described as being between 30 and 80 centimeters in length, similar in appearance to a snake, but with a central girth that is much wider than its head or tail, and as having fangs and venom similar to that of a viper.

The tsuchinoko appears in some games as a secret monster or rare creature; for example, [[Metal Gear Solid 3]] or [[Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow]].

[[Kirisame Marisa]] decided to take the tsuchinoko found in [i][[eastern_and_little_nature_deity|Strange and Bright Nature Deity]][/i] home as a pet, though it's not certain if she still has it...
