Little is known about Hista's origins. According to an elder of the gorilla family, the serpent first attacked them decades ago. For weeks on end, Hista pursued the gorillas no matter where or how far they ran. Eventually, Hista disappeared and was never seen since. Having returned, he intended to make a meal out of anyone in his path.Hista has poor vision and relies on his ability to sense body heat to track his future meal. Hista has a pair of fangs, which no real python has, as they are not venomous and constrict prey.Hista seems to be exceptionally long-lived for a python, as he is both massive and old, having attacked the gorilla family when Kala was young. This likely makes him 30+ years of age at least.Though it is unspecified what kind of snake that Hista is, Hista is likely an African rock python (Python sebae sebae), which can grow to lengths of more than 20 feet. However, Hista is closer to 35–50 feet, making him freakishly large even for his species and more in line with prehistoric snakes like Titanoboa in terms of size.

Appearance: Hista is a African rock python that is about 35 feet long in length. He has yellow eyes with black markings around them, his pupils are more slit like a cat's. His body is red with a lighter red under belly and black oval and diamond patterns along his back. He has fangs with four upper smaller fangs behind them and a pink forked tongue he uses to scent out prey. Given he's a snake he lacks arms and legs, using his long, muscular body to slither. Happily seeks out his next meal to either constrict slowly to passing out or swallowing whole and alive, enjoying the feeling of his prey sliding slowly down his length towards his stomach. While his eyes are intimidating, he has poor eyesight, relying more on sensing body heat than actively looking with his eyes. Acts more like a reptile or animal.
