I can't think of any original/non cliche superpowers suitable for my reptile OC. Can someone help me? Thanks!

Put a bunch of powers into a hat. Pick one at random. Poof. Instant superpowers.

The power to speak any language.
The power to be strengthened by the fear of others or oneself.
The power to manipulate brooms.
The power to transform physically into one or several spoons.

[up][up] Why do I get the feeling that hat is Jotaro's?

Squirting blood from their eyes at their enemies, blinding them. Is that original? It's at least scientifically accurate.

There's tons of superpowers you can draw just from actual abilities of reptiles. Infrared sensing using heat pits, chameleon camouflage, vibration sensing, extra durability due to armored scales, the ability to survive extended lengths of time without food, extra eyelids to allow them to see underwater, the ability to survive underwater for extended lengths of time, venom filled fangs, venom sprayed at the opponent for the purpose of blinding them, detachable limbs, extendable tongues, the ability to climb on any surface, sharp claws, sharp teeth, strong tails, etc.

[up][up]As far as I know? I don't think anybody has done that before. But then again most animal based heroes or villains usually don't stray to much from the standard animals like lions, cats, dogs, snakes, sharks, etc.

Infact...I don't actually recall seeing very many animal anthros in superhero setting that were not villains. I mean I made a vigilante OC like that. A anthromatic crazy scarred long-eared white bunny with traits of other animals (Rattlesnake poision glands, shark teeth, and a few other important traits as well) whom was human at one time before amoral scientists got a hold of him. He lashed out and killed his experimenters and now attacks criminals whom inflict suffering on others...

The actual concept itself is surprisingly uncommon unless it's a snake anthro, a alien that looks like a anthromatic lizard, or a subterranean species....

For Zelda's Honor, I had the Cyn'Taak, a race of semi-sentient reptilian beings that had the general alligator shape of a Daedroth from Oblivion with bigger forearms like a gorilla so they could swing through the trees, have a red mane of hair trailing down their spine and a scorpion like tail. This barbed tail had a potent venom that caused their victims to explode in a mess of blood filled boils that they could then easily pop open with their jaws and suck up the liquified contents within. A horrible way to go. They were quite unique and dangerous foes of Link and co. before they stole a baby and eventually made it their 'pet' project so that it became a good guy fighting on their side. Oh, and they are resistant to magic too! Another nice boon. See? Its really not hard to create interesting creatures if you mix/match interesting concepts. [lol]
