Snakebear

The snakebear is neither snake nor bear, but a giant venomous mole which can cause permanent trauma just from the victim watching it move. There are several muscles within its dark saggy fur that can allow it to slide through tunnels without the need for claws, of which are often released out of its hip pouches as applied breaks and tearing mechanisms.
The snakebear can be found in the harsh lands of Sanguin, a land often referred to as the living embodiment of hell.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Underneath the thick skin of a snakebear are thousands of muscles pressing against the skeleton, piling on top of each other in bulging spheres. When exerted, these muscles elongate in a singular direction and push against the skin. Alongside six to seven inch claws on either of its four feet, the snakebear also wears an impressive display of teeth, some attached to its jaws, others along it's tongue that can stretch far enough to clean its hidden, slick ears. The snakebear's mouth will swell and drool a purple ooze as both its red gums and small pores within the teeth fill with venom when the creature senses a prey or a rival. Rarely used, the snakebear has a sharp tail at the end of its body, but it is mostly mineral based and not muscular, so it can only hurt a victim if a fool walks into it or a snakebear decides to sit on its lunch first.

Additional Information

Average Intelligence

The snakebear has a good capacity of intelligence and can recognise danger which allows it to avoid or treat from larger rivals.
Many of the snakebear's nerves are wrapped around its muscles in web-like patterns. It is thought that moving as it does can cause the snakbear great pain, which may be why it prefers to hibernate or rest at every opportunity.

Perception and Sensory Capabilities

The snakebear has extraordinary capabilities to detect movement underground as well as some surface movement above ground. It has a strong sense of smell, and some hearing abilities as well, though its sight is very limited.
