You know what makes the Apophis stand out from the rest of the lamia family (which itself is one of my favorite mamono families)? They look so regal and upper-class and seem to know it. For some reason I really like mamono that look very upper-class or just above my rank in general (the Demon is another great example of this).

Furthermore I believe they might at least in part be demonic in nature. Their venom seems to bear more than an uncanny resemblance to demonic energy both in appearance and effect. I'm sure back in the age of the former Demon Lord their venom had similar effects to the demonic energy of that era as well: brutal and destructive.

On the subject of their venom, I wonder if there's any way to build up an immunity. I know it never leaves the body once introduced into it but maybe there's a way to inject a controlled amount little by little so that your body becomes biologically resistant to the neurotoxins, requiring more and more to be introduced to have the effect. Given that it basically functions like a drug, it wouldn't shock me to find out there's some sort of tolerance factor involved.
