This is a free illustration of the Tsuchinoko, one of Japan’s most famous cryptids. Often described as a short, thick-bodied snake, it’s said to measure 30–80 cm in length and 7–15 cm in diameter. Its color varies—dark brown, black, gray—with a yellow belly and spotted back. It has a round head, large eyes, and a wide, slit-like mouth. Despite having no limbs, it can allegedly stand upright and leap over 2 meters in a single bound. Sightings have been reported across Japan (except Hokkaido and Okinawa), fueling speculation that it may be a native species. Theories about its identity range from unknown reptiles to amphibians—or simply a product of human imagination. Whether real or not, the Tsuchinoko remains a beloved mystery and a symbol of Japan’s rich folklore.
