Ball python

Useful Info

Ball pythons are fast snakes found in the early Dungeon. While weaker than a hobgoblin or quokka, ball pythons can constrict you with their attacks. Constriction has a chance to prevent you from moving, lowers evasion, and deals minor damage every turn.

Tips & Tricks

• Ball pythons are weak and frail, but if they manage to constrict you, you'll start taking damage quickly. Try to kill them fast, and try not to fight them around other monsters.
  • Large species (Armataur, Naga, Oni, Troll) are too big to be constricted by a ball python, so these species have little to fear.

History

• Prior to 0.27, ball pythons dealt 1 less damage in melee.
• Prior to 0.25 you could create your own ball pythons with the Sticks to Snakes spell.
• Prior to 0.10, ball pythons were known as small snakes, and had a weak poisonous bite instead of a constriction attack. Also, they were tiny sized.
