Description
Clockwork Razor Snakes are an abomination created by cruel, evil Magic-users. In appearance they appear to be normal pythons that have been sectioned, with the sections of real snake interspersed with weird clockwork sections, effectively increasing the snake’s length by almost half (24 to 36 feet in length).
The clockwork joining sections are under the control of the snake as if they were natural parts of its body. These sections are also covered with sharp, razor-like blades.
These abominable experiments have two methods of attack; they can lash out with their tail, using the blades to slash their foes, or they can coil around their victims, requiring a successful attack roll, and the victim to then fail a saving throw. Once their victim is looped in their coils they constrict, but as they do the razor-sharp blades also cut into the trapped victim.
Razor snakes are in constant pain from the cruel modifications, and are unable to remain still for any length of time. They will attack any creature that gets close enough in a blind rage (no reaction roll, they will always attack).
