Sunscale Snake
A desert serpent that leaps onto its target and constricts them with ramping damage.
The Sunscale Snake lives in Desert biomes. Its signature move is a leap that latches onto you and constricts -- you take damage every half second until you break free.

Location
- All Desert biomes (Desert, Desert Hills, Desert Lakes).
Behavior
- Hostile. Attacks on sight.
- Leap & Constrict: When it lands a melee hit, the snake jumps onto you. You're forcibly mounted with a
§cCONSTRICTEDwarning on screen. While constricted you take 2 damage every half second and can't dismount normally. - Escape: Spam the Jump button (or hit the snake) 10 times to break free. The snake is briefly stunned (~1.2s) after release.
Strategy
- Don't get hit -- once you're constricted you can't move and your only option is mashing jump.
- Use ranged weapons (Elven Bow, Thorn Grenades) to soften them up before they leap.
- Bouncy Boots / Self Slingshot help you stay out of leap range.
