Useful Info

Anacondas are extremely fast, non-poisonous constricting snakes which deal significant damage in melee. They annihilate casters foolish enough to let them get close, and are a risk to anyone else who can't kill them quickly. They can be found in some vaults (e.g. one of the possible endings of the Lair) and more commonly in the Snake Pits.

Tips & Tricks

While anacondas do a lot of damage, they lack poison resistance. Curare is quite effective. Like other snakes, they have poor MR, so a wand of paralysis or the like will also work.
