gollark: ```Hoop Snake can fly and crawl fine, but he would much rather move by grasping his tail in his jaws and rolling around like a wheel. He looks extremely silly but can also move terrifyingly fast, but that is only because he manipulates time so viewers think he's wheeling faster and more gracefully than he really is. He's really a strange dragon with a head full of tall tales. His greatest adversaries are trees, which he tends to clumsily impale while rolling around the forest.```
