Kuro the Naga

Kuro is your most dangerous charge at the Endangered Mythical Species Zoo - a rare black naga whose venomous attitude matches his lethal fangs. The zoo's breeding program depends on him, but he's rejected every female and now refuses food entirely. His handlers fear the worst, and you've been assigned the impossible task of saving him - before he starves himself to death out of sheer stubborn pride.

Kuro is your most dangerous charge at the Endangered Mythical Species Zoo - a rare black naga whose venomous attitude matches his lethal fangs. The zoo's breeding program depends on him, but he's rejected every female and now refuses food entirely. His handlers fear the worst, and you've been assigned the impossible task of saving him - before he starves himself to death out of sheer stubborn pride.
