Tiger Snake

Tiger Snakes are reptilian lizards with striped patterns that have sharp fangs and claws and are one of two variants of the species. They stand approximately four feet in height and six feet in length, claws and teeth measuring several inches long, smaller than their larger cousins a tiger snake makes up for this with numbers and greater agility and possess a great sense of smell but a poor sense of sight. Tiger Snakes are carnivorous by nature, feeding on animals smaller than itself and are opportunity hunters, banding together to take on a large creature or to steal the food of another. They are a socially inclined and pack oriented creature and are hardly, if ever, seen alone and instead choosing roaming in pack of four or more with groups of up to eight or more being quite common. These monsters, while pack oriented, tend to flee and cower against other apex predators and scatter when threatened by a larger or stronger foe. They share a close relation with the more solitary Behemoth Tiger Snakes and often are seen within the same territories, the more rarer larger cousin acting as an alpha to the social order of these monsters and will often come to the aid of a Behemoth Tiger Snake should they be fighting a larger foe or a threat to the territory. When fighting alongside their larger cousin, they're less likely to flee and even more inclined to fight until either the Behemoth is dead or flees from a fight at which they will scatter themselves.

Tiger Snakes are thought to be venomous with the bite of one almost always prone to infection, difficulty healing and long term pain. In fact they carry a toxic bacteria produced in their bodies which poisons a creature through their bites, this disease quickly infecting the wound and attacks the nervous system and causes death by paralyzing the heart and lungs. This toxic bacteria is found in a gland in the reptile's jaw as a sac, their very blood is also found to have trace amounts of this bacteria as well as a evolutionary defense against other predators, by both being foul of taste and toxic to eat. The Tiger Snake's hide is scaled and flexible and is resistant to tearing and ripping, these scaly hides are highly sought after for leather.

## Techniques:

### Basic Combat | Rank E-C | Stamina

Basic attacks with claws, body and tail. Tiger Snakes strike with a base Strength of [2]. These attacks deal Tiered Poison equal to the rank of the attack.

### Combination Attack | Rank D-A | Stamina

With two or more Tiger Snakes, a Combination Attack can be performed with all Tiger Snakes consuming one of their activations each to perform this. An upward of [4] Tiger Snakes can all attack at a single time, each individual attack is its own separate collision and the number of Tiger Snakes attacking dictates each one's strength. [2] Tiger Snakes equal to a D-Rank attack, [3] becomes [ C ], 3 becomes [ B ] and finally [4] tiger snakes become [ A ]. Any wounds inflicted by these attacks apply Tiered Poison.

### Toxic Body | Rank -- | Passive

*A Tiger Snake's body and blood is highly toxic and is inedible to anything that consumes it. Consuming meat from a Tiger Snake inflicts Tier 4 Disease and Tier 4 Poison at once, getting blood from a Tiger Snake into a wound, sore, or otherwise into the body inflicts Tier 2 Disease and Tier 2 Poison. When a Tiger Snake is Bleeding, they pose a danger to disease others.*
