Trivia

• Janoby was first seen on an animator's reference sheet for the Best Wishes series, along with Futachimaru, Koromori, and Kibago.

Origin

Janoby's color scheme is similar to its species' possible namesake, Opheodrys aestivus, the North American grass snake, while Oxybelis fulgidus, the Central and South American vine snake, may be the basis for its general serpentine features. The yellow crest on its chest and shoulders resembles Strelitzia, aka bird of paradise plants. Its evolutionary line was confirmed by Ken Sugimori to have been based off of French royalty. Janoby's physical appearance may have been based on the acanthus leaf motifs used specially during the 14th and 18th centuries.

Name origin

Janoby's name may come from 蛇 ja, meaning snake, and canopy.
