Snake ricocheting around the trees to build momentum before launching a critical blow at Gon only to be defeated instantly by him with a single punch, mirrors the clash between Bellamy and Luffy in Mock Town from the manga series One Piece.Gon was eating an apple or a very similar fruit under a tree when Snake attacked him their encounter might be a reference to the myth of Adam and Eve.Snake's sunglasses also invoke the image of Morpheus from The Matrix franchise, whose signature appearance involve wearing a pair of sunglasses that have no arms.In the Madhouse adaption, his eye-bulging is further exaggerated to the point of punching through the lenses.The joke seems to be that his sunglasses are actually glued to his eyeballs.

Later on, upon seeing Gon effortlessly breaking free from his tail's grip meant to strangle and crush the Hunter, Snake's eyes comically bulged in shock, pushing his sunglasses forward without them falling. Snake's sunglasses have no arms, they rest on his face with no support other than the nose pads.The character's true name was never given in the manga nor in the 2011 anime adaptation, but he has been referred to as ヘビ型 ( Hebi-gata, literally "Snake type") in the Hunter × Hunter Battle Collection card game.

He then coils his tail as a spring to bounce around at high speed and succeeds in enveloping Gon, but the boy easily frees himself, knocks him out with a single punch and ties him to a tree with his own tail. While Gon eats against a tree, Snake tries to ambush him, but only succeeds in crushing the tree. Meleoron sends him after Gon to test the boy's capabilities. Snake remains in an area that had already undergone the Selection, possibly to watch the shore borders of the Republic of East Gorteau, along with Bat and Hollow.

He burst out laughing when he thought he was about to squeeze Gon to death. Snake killed humans for fun, going behind his Squadron Leader's back to do so. Carrying the genes of a snake, he is half-human, half-serpent, and he has a cloth tied around his left arm.
