Meat Snake Specimen

During the post war clean up process in 1945, a grotesque discovery was made by the clean up crews in one of the train tunnels located in Germany. An extremely engorged and swollen Meat Snake was found lodged in the tunnel, this specimen displayed several unique qualities unseen in ordinary meat snakes.

### Physical attributes

The most notable difference about this Meat Snake, was its abnormal colouration, rather than having the dark reddish light brown flesh of a normal Meat Snake, this specimen donned a very deep maroon. This snake was also found to be 30.433 metres long, 6 times larger than the average Meat Snake. This snake also had a different mouth design, rather than taking the shape of a singular skull, this Meat Snakes orifice was made out of 6 cows skulls arranged in a circular design with the mouth opening being wide open. The snake was shown to be stuck in the tunnel for quite some time as seen by the weathering in all parts of the skin. The Meat Snakes skin was also contrary to the ordinary snake, showing extreme resilience to all kinds of force including extreme heat, cold and radiation. This level of durability is unseen with any non-carnis organism.

### Behaviours

This Meat Snake was very idle, most meat snakes are sluggish and cumbersome, but move nonetheless. But this specimen lacked even basic motor functions, these behaviours are similar to that of a plant. This may have been a result of it being lodged in place, therefore causing it to be hibernating to preserve energy. It did not show any signs of aggression to the cleaners, implying that the snake still only consumes dead meat products.

### Trivia

* The cleanup crew at the other end of the tunnel would make a shocking discovery, hundreds of thousands of skulls and bones where found littered in piles at the rear end of the snake showing how many meals it had consumed. The image showed many human remains, but none of them appeared to be cow remains, raising questions as to how the snake obtained the cow skulls for its mouth. The piles of remains also raises suspicion as to how the meat snake managed to find that many bodies to consume.
* The way this snake evolved is similar to that of the Elder Mimic. A mimic evolves into an elder mimic when given an abundance of food, it develops a darker more tougher flesh and becomes more of a threat than a normal mimic. This meat snake was provided with more food than any other meat snake, causing it to become a form of "Elder meat snake". This transformation may be possible with other members of the Carnis family if put under similar circumstances.
* As of now, the Meat Snake specimen has disappeared completely without a trace and any reason as to how.
* This snake is described as smelling pleasantly like scrambled eggs, which might be how its food is drawn to it. This is similar to a folkloric concept that snakes or dragons are able to draw their prey into their mouth by their breath alone.
