snakefire in the grassfire You're fighting a snakefire in the grassfire

You approach the more intense fires in the plains -- you'd think when a brushfire runs out of brush, it'd be less hot, but this one only seems to be growing more intense as time goes by.

Yeah, you'd think that. If you had time to think anything. Which you don't, because a snake made of fire darts out of the grass and heads directly at you.

It's a quick little bugger. You're not gonna be able to do anything fancy, here -- just a good old fashioned snake stomping.

Hit Message(s):

It gives you an Indian burn. Wait, is that racist? No, I guess would only be racist if it gave you an Indian burn and then immediately took it back. Argh! Argh! Ow! Eek! Eek! (hot damage)

It constricts around your <eye> while biting your <face>. Ooh! Oof! Argh! Oof! Ow! (hot damage)

It rattles its piping-hot tail against your <face>. You're lucky it didn't use its tailing-hot pipe. Ouch! Argh! Oof! Ooh! Ow! (hot damage)

Critical Hit Message:

It crawls from your <head> to your <face>, burning them both and everything in between. Oof! Ooh! Ugh! Oof! Ooh!

Notes

  • The Copied version of this monster DOES NOT reward FDKOL commendations.
  • Immune to non-cold damage.
  • Its attacks are auto-hit, and can be hot-based or physical. Damage you take from hot attacks may be mitigated by your hot resistance.
    • Does 1000-1200 per attack, plus (MonsterAtk-YourMoxie) (min 0). This is reduced by damage reduction, damage absorption, and Hot Resistance (if applicable) as normal.
  • The hot egg drop is conditional, and thus cannot be pickpocketed, yellow rayed, or rave stolen.
    • There is a 99.9% rejection rate on the drop, with a base drop rate of 100%. Since the base drop rate is 100%, the drop rate is unaffected by item drop modifiers. Thus the effective drop rate is .1% for everyone, whether running -100% items or +900%.
  • Unlike the brushfire from before, running away before the monster is killed WILL NOT give any commendations.
  • This monster has no factoids.

References

  • The first hit message indirectly refers to the derogatory expression "Indian giver."
  • The name of this monster refers to "snake in the grass," a derogatory expression for a treacherous or conniving person.
