The Vine Snake is a serpent found in the jungle regions of many planets. They lie in wait on branches or among actual vines for camouflage and kill their victims through constriction.
Features
Venomous
Sygra is wild, and its behavior cannot be modified to accept the presence of humanoids. It cannot be trained to abandon its wild instincts and will generally continue to do whatever it wants. As creature handling goes up, a character can better predict what this creature will do and empathize and understand it despite being unable to tame it. With proficiency (+3) a member could manage to successfully own and cage this creature but not safely interact with it and influence its behavior, with a better understanding and ability to manage this Sygra coming with mastery (+5).
Mild: Vine Snake possesses a venomous bite, typically used to incapacitate its prey. In an adult humanoid, the venom will produce fatigue, pain, nausea, and disorientation within minutes, but is only rarely fatal even without medical attention.
Sygra thrives on the hunt, but prefers to use stealth and careful preparation to pick and choose their battles. They see no need to rush headlong after a prey or target, but can often miss out on success if they miss their timing.
Sygra is larger than the average Vine Snake in terms of size and body mass. Their bulkier build can offer better power but often at the expense of the mobility and agility commonly associated with other Vine Snake.
Sygra, whilst being a Vine Snake, has the coloring of a black asp, with a gray-blue underbelly and a flaring hood.
