Anaconda

Useful Info

Anacondas are extremely fast, non-venomous constricting snakes which deal significant damage in melee. They annihilate lightly-armoured casters foolish enough to let them get close, and are a risk to anyone else who can't kill them quickly. They can be found in some vaults (e.g. one of the possible endings of the Lair) and more commonly in the Snake Pits.

Tips & Tricks

While anacondas do a lot of damage, they lack poison resistance. Curare darts are quite effective. If it managed to get close and constrict you, you can always try Mephitic Cloud. Like other snakes, they have poor willpower, so a wand of paralysis or the like will also work.

History

• In 0.10, anacondas got a bite attack. Previously, they could only constrict their enemies.
• Prior to 0.7, anacondas weren't amphibious.
