MENGDEN - Western Brown Snake

ANiMOZ #010

Code: MENGDEN

Common name: Western Brown Snake

Taxonomy: Pseudonaja mengdeni

Level: APEX | Form: VENOM

Status: INFREQUENT | BiOME: SCRUB

Overcomes: Drought | Flood

SUPERPOWERS:

RAPID VENOM:

MENGDEN has highly dangerous venom which acts as a neurotoxin and haemotoxin. That means it can have devastating effects on both body tissue and red blood cells, and can shut down vital organs. Her Rapid Venom power means the venom is distributed quickly throughout the body, rapidly incapacitating her prey!

S-STRIKE:

When threatened, MENGDEN will use his impressive S-shaped stance to warn off whoever is bothering him. From this elevated and coiled position, he can deliver a sudden S-strike with minimal warning.

WEAKNESSES:

AUDAX:

Whilst an Apex venomous species, MENGDEN must still watch out for attacks from above. If she comes across AUDAX in a Clash, she automatically loses.
