"I think I've come up with good idea for the Gigantophis. Similar to other ideas it would be able to bury underground allowing it to move at a slower rate (40% speed decrease and can aim its constrict its ability while underground) It could have a constrict ability (holding ctrl and right clicking to constrict the target) where it would target a creature and constrict it. (Could attack on the surface or when buried with a bury ability) There would be three modes to the constrict ability which could be changed by holding Ctrl and right click, these three modes are:
- Killing mode (depletes the constricted creatures oxygen doing damage)
- Immobilise mode (simply wraps around the creature stopping it from being able to move or attack for a duration allowing the survivor to kill or tranquillise it themselves.
- Knockout mode (depletes the constricted creatures oxygen until it goes unconscious and then let's go.
The way the creatures get strangled are similar to other suggestions for this creature.
I also agree with the first idea where it shouldn't have venom or poison and be a purely constrictor based creature.
