The giant boa constrictor may carry some small durable treasure from humanoid victims it has swallowed.
Encounters
- Territorial: the boa will be aware of interlopers and will openly demonstrate itself, usually at a distance of 1–4 hexes (2–8). The snake will not attack and will be recognized as not aggressive. However, a skilled observer will be able to tell from the movement of the snake's tongue that aggression is probable if a combatant does not immediately back off to a distance of at least five hexes, or if the combatant actually moves to approach. This is because the boa is protecting its nest. The snake will be open to talking at this time if parley is initiated (speak with animals). The boa constrictor will fight at +2 when protecting its eggs.
- Hunting: the boa will attempt to seize a creature as prey, typically looping them from above, attacking prey in water or while sleeping. Injured or otherwise helpless creatures are equally vulnerable — and any sized animal is vulnerable to the giant-sized boa.
