}}'''The Anaconda''' ('''The Shedder of Skins''', '''The Rib-Key''', '''The Bedaggered Adder''', once known as '''Scáthach''') is the Twenty-First Hour of the Fansus, created by [[User:Anaconda With Sword|Anaconda With Sword]]. It is either a God-From-Flesh or a God-From-Blood, ascending to Hourhood after the Segmenting of the Serpent. Its aspects are [[:Category:Knock|Knock]], [[:Category:Winter|Winter]], and [[:Category:Moth|Moth]] in decreasing order of importance- this is an Hour that enjoys starting debates, telling riddles, and making groan-inducing puns. The jungleAnaconda's spheres are wild things, the arcticcurses, places that are wild and untouched are holy to the Anacondaassassinations.
The Rite of the Lindorm Historian recreates the ascension of the Anaconda in microcosm; it’s an area of debate as has been claimed to relate to whether this qualifies as the sacrifice or the ascension of the being the Anaconda was. The Anaconda has, occasionally, provided evidence for one side or the other to continue the debate.
Its tarot card is Judgement.
Elaine is scaled and fanged, with pearlescent skin that has the sharpness of their teeth. One does not touch the Wyrmspeaker, and one does not harass them. They suffer a peculiar and inexplicable terror of the recently-invented vacuum cleaner, the usage of which resulted in their one sanction for biting another Minister in [[The One Sanctum]].
====The Diadophian====

Aspects: {{Aspect|Forge|12}}, {{Aspect|Moth|12}}; Deceiver<br />

'''Summon the Dancing Diadophian:'''
One of the few of Bayal's Second History inhabitants that did not ascend to the Aquarium, the Diadophian serves as the Anaconda's eyes when needed. Provide Forge for the gleaming city of Bayal, and Grail for the rotten core within its golden spires.
The Diadophian dances into existence with a swirl of gold and red velvet. Her appearance is almost exactly that of a young child, although no parent would dare dress their daughter in such a dress, or clasp that gold collar around her neck. She smiles without showing teeth, closing her eyes to hide their golden color and slit pupils.
====Lancelot, Penitent====
''"I am the alienated, the ridiculed, the despised. There is no need to praise my name."''<br />
Aspects: {{Aspect|Edge|12}}, {{Aspect|Knock|12}}; No Rebellion<br />
====Cu Chulainn, The Serpent's Shadow====
''"Ahh, this is boring. Let's go fight!"''<br />
Aspects: {{Aspect|Heart|12}}, {{Aspect|Winter|12}}; Devourer<br />
====Buorm, The Yersine====
''"Kill and eat."''
Aspects: {{Aspect|Grail|12}}, {{Aspect|Winter|12}}; Devourer<br />
Temptations: {{Aspect|Heart|10}}, {{Aspect|Grail|2}}, {{Aspect|Knock|4}}
'''Summon Pestilence:'''
Where sieges grow long, where poisoners ply their trade in wells and stockpiles, where the corpses of the dead are thrown over the walls, there Buorm is found. Whet his appetites with Grail, and protect yourself with Heart, and he will come to you.
Buorm is an ugly thing, purple-brown like a bruised arm where he isn't black like necrosis. His eyes are a hideous, milky blue... But who would dare to look away from them? There's a beauty in those wells, if you just look a little closer. A little closer...
