Slide-rock Bolter

Prompt: An early 1900s photograph, low angle shot, An angry sperm whale-like snake sliding down a steep mountain slope, its mouth wide open as it tries to eat the viewer, trees are torn from the soil and debris is flying everywhere, action shot

One of the cryptids I came across when looking for inspiration for a previous challenge. The Slide-rock bolter is just such a weird creation.
It's a whale-like creature that hangs at the top of a slope, waiting for a tourist to walk by below. When that happens, it would slide down the slope at high speed, using it's saliva as a lubricant, and eat the hapless passerby in one gulp. Using its momentum it would then slide up the other mountain to find a new hiding spot.

It's so ridiculous, I just love it :)
