ViRiD - Green Tree Python

“A shimmering green merges with the bright, wet leaves of the forest. With head raised, ViRiD waits patiently for her prey to look away, before striking! Aside from a brief squawk, the kill is silent, and she firmly wraps her body around her meal. Her CONSTRICTION Power makes this an easy victory, and as a Predator with few creatures capable of spotting her amongst the treetops, she can safely enjoy her success...”

ANiMOZ #101

Code: ViRiD

Common name: Green tree python

Taxonomy: Morelia viridis

Level: Carn | Form: Predator | Status: Infrequent | BiOME: Forest

Overcomes: Drought | Flood

Superpowers:

ACCORDISTRIKE

When ViRiD spots her prey, she will move into position and ready her body  for the killer strike! Using her Accordistrike power, she pulls her body into a  bunched position, enabling a powerful extension to reach her victim before they know she’s even there!

CONSTRICTION

Using his powerful muscles, ViRiD will take hold of his prey and, wrapping himself around it, squeeze the air out of its lungs, crushing the victim's body.

Weaknesses:

WING

Whilst well-camouflaged in her arboreal home, ViRiD is in danger of being clasped by powerful talons from above. In a Clash, she automatically loses to a Wing species.
