So it is based off the sidewinder snake: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crotalus_cerastes

Sidle + Sidewinder = Portmanteau

I like the card. In part because it reminds me of a monster from a game, called Sidewinder, and whose card was rather useful, but I digress. Also because it is a Reptile.
Besides, this card looks really good IMO. Although it can simply revive 1 of the Reptiles used as materials to start or continue a Link ladder, it still needs some set-up and thus it is not as straightforward to play with. For starters, it wants to be Summoned on an MM Zone.
That, and it can also get a potent Reptile on board instead of following up a Link ladder, although I cannot think nor find any noteworthy Reptile at the moment, but one never knows when a Reptile floodgate or powerhouse may show up.
