BASICS
SPECIES • white-lipped python (Southern)
NAME • Susurrus, which not only literally sounds like a hiss, but is Latin for a low, soft, rustling, whispering, hissing, or humming sound. It also has roots in the word meaning a buzzing sound. All of this is reminiscent of the ambiguity of Paimon's true voice, as well as how the ancient entity's energy is said to feel. It also is reminiscent of Peter's canon and situation in general — the soft hiss of wind through the trees, something unknown whispering in the dark wood, growing closer and closer, its shape unable to be properly perceived.
SEX • male
GENDER • male; he/him
SIZE • Thin in girth, but long: about 7 feet

THEMES & CONNECTIONS
• Like many python types, white-lips are quite shy, nervous, and easily stressed, requiring much time spent hiding away. However, unlike other pythons that become docile when handled, white-lips are known to be very openly defensive, and will get nippy and upset if handled too much. They easily become anxious when touched, and need their space. They are also known to be quite intimidating for their strength as constrictors, and their capability of moving at extremely fast speeds when they want to. These behaviours reflect Peter (and Paimon): something very shy and anxious, but hosting an immense and dangerous power within.
• Branching off of the above, Peter's Omen generally displays a shy, nervous demeanour around people, and likes to keep his distance. Introvert Snake for Introvert Boy. He tends to move very.... slowly.... though is capable of abruptly becoming disconcertingly fast. If someone is close with Peter, his snake will be much more at ease around them; however, he dislikes loud noises and sudden movements, and will get bitey if surprised — with multiple rows of teeth. He's extremely sensitive to others' energies and can easily pick up on what might be threatening (or is perceived as threatening). This sensitivity also makes him very empathetic, and there is a soft, caring nature to him underneath all the caution. Affectionate constrictive-like wrapping may happen to Peter's close CR: aka very slow, perhaps ominous, hugs.
• White-lips also have some strange behaviours in comparison to other pythons, including the tendency to hiss even when literally nothing's wrong.......... They've been called demon snakes. At any given moment, Peter or his snake could be caught hissing from the shadows for no apparent reason: and maybe both, at the same time. It's fine. #JustDemonThings
• So far, Peter's Omen doesn't speak, not even to Peter, and instead will just silently stare at people. He does seem to communicate more directly to Paimon, the two of them often just... gazing solemnly at each other for a long time in some deeper understanding. (EDIT: as of 09/22, Susurrus has finally begun to speak....)
• Physically, Peter's Omen is naturally black, with a white underside / belly. However, it's difficult to pinpoint any exact colour to him, for his scales contain iridophores that refract light. When exposed to any sort of light, the scales take on a very bright, ethereal iridescence: a sparkling rainbow of colours seen as the snake moves. This can change in intensity and hue depending on what type of light he's near (sunlight, lunar light, etc.) As Paimon's spirit manifests as a nebulous light of iridescent, alien colours, Peter's Omen is physically a reflection of the demon king's powerful, otherworldly presence shimmering inside of a "plain black" surface, aka Peter.
