X is a legendary reptile reputed to be king of serpents and said to have the power to cause death with a single glance.
A mythical account of the existence of X goes like this-
According to the Naturalis Historia of Pliny the Elder, the X of Cyrene is a small snake, "being not more than twelve fingers in length," that is so venomous, it leaves a wide trail of deadly venom in its wake, and its gaze is likewise lethal.
Its weakness is in the odor of the weasel, which, according to Pliny, was thrown into the X's hole, and the hole was recognizable because all the surrounding shrubs and grass had been scorched by its presence.
X is also the name of a famous manga and anime.
Can you guess the name of "the king of serpents" ?
