Why does his codename is Snake? He should be called Chameleon since his specialty is blending with the environment.

Is he ever actually called snake? Or is it just Solidus?

I think the reason was that Gas or Gaseous Snake didn't sound right so since Solidus had both Solid and Liquid's genes they went with something in between Solid and Liquid and thus he was called Solidus Snake.

What does "Solidus" even mean? Is that even a real word?

Solidus (plural solidi or soliduses)
1. The line between the numerator and the denominator of a fraction.
2. A forward slash or virgule.
3. A late Roman gold coin (after 3rd Century CE); a bezant.
4. (chemistry, physics) a line, in a phase diagram, below which a given substance is a stable solid and above which solid and liquid are in equilibrium

In other words, the fourth one. Neither solid nor liquid.

Oh that makes sense, he's both solid and liquid.

Why not just call him gas snake?

"Vapor Snake" would've worked. No?

Just think of the Beavis and Butthead Innuendo!

>solid snake = boner, cock
>liquid snake = piss, cum
>vapor snake = SMOKE WEED ERRYDAY

Doesn't really fit his character much. TTYTT Solidus sounds a lot more exotic, if still like a retarded fanfic.
