About Gary De’Snake
Gary De’Snake is the tritagonist of Zootopia 2, a new addition to the world of Zootopia. He’s described as “creepy, slithering, and highly venomous,” but his personality adds a twist, he’s also oddly talkative and optimistic. In the movie, Gary is a wanted criminal that Nick and Judy are investigating, though his true motives seem deeper than they appear. He steals a mysterious book not out of greed, but to help his family.
- Species: Pit viper hybrid, based on the Sunda Island pit viper.
- Appearance: Cerulean blue scales, large yellow eyes with slit pupils, and a wide jaw.
- Clothing: Red hooded jacket with drawstrings and a yellow mini hoodie decoration on his tail.
- Length: Around 10 meters (33 feet) long.
If you’ve drawn other Zootopia characters like Nick Wilde or Judy Hopps, this design will be a fun contrast thanks to Gary’s unusual shape and style.
