Scuthon
Overview
The series of overlapping armoured scutes on its back lend this Kreature its name, which it can use to generate ultra low-frequency vibrations that can form destructive shockwaves or protective barriers. Though it has enough strength in its coils to crush the bones of its prey, instead it will squeeze just hard enough to disrupt its victim’s circulation and stop its heart. Designed for combat in hot, humid swamps, it can swim with incredible speed and hold its breath underwater for up to six hours. Occasionally it will haul itself out on land to ambush prey in the trees or undergrowth, or simply to bask in the sun.
The things I love about Scuthon are 1. Those great looking armoured scutes that have that awesome ability. and 2. The crocodilian facial features that when seeing this serpent in action, makes said features even more wonderful. 🙂
