This card, along with “Reptilianne Gardna” and “Reptilianne Servant”, are the only Reptilianne monsters to not be based on a mythological figure.
An argument could be made though for this card being inspired by the Naga of Indian mythology, just like “Reptilianne Naga”.
Despite the name, this monster resembles a king cobra rather than a viper.
This card's effect is a unique twist to the effect of Junk Synchron, Black Salvo, Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North and the like. This card is the only Tuner monster that allows you to gain control of an opponent's monster (although it has to have 0 ATK)
This card appears in the artwork of Tuning Barrier.
