Constrictors

Constrictors are the largest snakes native to Rokugan, and live in the dense foliage of jungles and forests. The constricors are rare, and are usually found at the edges of the Shadowlands, deep in Shinomen Mori or in the darkest jungles of the Islands of Spice and Silk. They have coils strong enough to crush a man's arm, and some even carry venom that paralyzes their enemy. The largest constrictors are capable of unhinging their jaw to swallow their pray, up to the size of adult dogs or small childern. A constrictor will only attack if threatened or if they believe they can get an easy meal. They blend in easily with their surroundings, and have been known to drop from trees to wrap around a victims throat. (3E p. 248)
