=== Appearance ===
[[File:Vyper leak 1.png|thumb|167x167px|Leaked Vyper remodel]]
Vyper's model is a modified version of {{HeroIcon|Kali}}'s model. She's an androgynous, skinny lizard-like creature with a long tail, lime-green skin and greenish-white chest, with black accents around her chest and face, and black hands and feet. She has 4-fingered hands and 2-toes digitigrade feet with long claws. She has black spikes over her eyes, similar to a [[wikipedia:Horned_viper|horned viper]]. She has purple eyes and a purple forked tongue, and sharp teeth. She wears brown shorts and a brown vest/strap top with a plastic/metal structure in the front. Her gun seems to be based on a German [[wikipedia:MP_18|MP 18]] submachine gun.

A leaked Vyper remodel had a Cobra hood, snake body and no clothes, and a different gun.
