Lamia

Description:

A lamia is a chimeric creature with the head, torso and arms of a humanoid, but with the lower body of a giant snake. More snake than humanoid in their behaviours, lamia will stalk their prey and attempt to enthrall, constrict and envenom them, using their weapons to supplement their natural abilities.

Special:

A lamia is immune to all forms of venom, and can spend a point of resolve to spit its own venom at its enemies. This venom is identical to giant snake venom, and so is somewhat slow acting. Thus a lamia will prefer to use its speed to keep its distance while its venom does its work. When a victim is weakened, a lamia will attempt to Constrict an enemy, potential carrying them away to where others cannot easily assist them. As with all Constrict attacks, the first attack must be an attempt to Entangle using the Effect Attack, after which, each turn that the victim does not escape, the lamia can choose to automatically apply strong damage from their Constrict attack.
