The Snake acknowledges her shortcomings. Compared to the rest of the animal-human hybrids that she will face against in The Great Race, she knows that there's only so much she can do without legs like everyone else.

Such were inconvenient times for her bottom scaly half.

However, as a hybrid like everyone else, her top half still featured arms and thumbs. Pointed nails and eager hands, for no one is immune to the pain those can bear.

Sometimes it still paid to have a tail that could swing. Even though everyone else used legs, that didn't guarantee immunity against falling.
