Taipan

The Great Taipan is the keeper of the rainbow and the spear, a creature of lightning speed whose venom is a concentrated form of the sun’s own fire. He is the guardian of the high ridges, a solitary hunter who carved the gorges with the lashing of his tail and left his teeth in the flint of the desert. Why do we step so lightly in the red dust if not for the fear of the one who strikes before the eye can even blink? He is the symbol of dangerous wisdom, the warrior of the scrub who reminds us that the earth has teeth.
