Appearance

Personality
The Snake Devil's personality is currently unknown.

Katana Man arc
As the Katana Man is being overwhelmed by Himeno and the Ghost Devil, he calls out to Sawatari for help. She raises her arm and summons the Snake Devil, commanding it to swallow the Ghost Devil whole. The Snake Devil instantly appears and swallows the Ghost Devil's body, decapitating it.

Later as Sawatari and Katana Man attempted to escape with a captive Denji, Kobeni appeared. Sawatari commanded the Snake Devil to attack with its tail but Kobeni's incredible agility allowed to avoid the attack and close the distance between them.

As the Special Division 4 invades Sawatari's headquarters she commands the Snake Devil to spit out the Ghost Devil which now fights on their side. After Aki defeats the Ghost Devil, Sawatari attempts to summons the Snake Devil in a panic but she is stopped by Kobeni.

The Snake Devil soon after killed Sawatari as she was being arrested, possibly as a clause in their contract together.

Control Devil arc
TBA.

Abilities
As a Devil, the Snake Devil possesses all of the standard devil abilities, such the ability to make contracts with humans for a price.

The only known contract is the one with Akane Sawatari. In exchange for four of her fingernails, Sawatari is able to summon the Snake Devil completely and use its ability to absorb beings by saying "Devour it completely!" and later on release them back by saying "Release!" which caused her nose to bleed. With this power, Sawatari has been shown to revive the Katana-Man, and control the Ghost Devil to fight on its behalf. Sawatari is also able to summon the tail of the Snake Devil by saying "Tail!". To use the abilities of Snake Devil, Sawatari requires hand motions, thus when her hands are held together, she cannot use the abilities.

Devil Powers
Absorption and Release: The Snake Devil can devour other devils with its gigantic mouth and then expel them at a later point to fight on its behalf. Doing so any being that is released is fully healed and can fight in place of the Snake Devil.
