Useful Info

Ball pythons are tiny, quick-moving snakes found all throughout the Dungeon. They are extremely weak, but are capable of constricting you with their attacks, preventing you from moving and dealing minor additional damage. Fortunately, they are little and only capable of grabbing spriggans with any regularity, and any character can kill them easily.

Tips & Tricks

Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by their generally pathetic stats, if they do by chance manage to constrict you their damage will begin going up exponentially. Kill them quickly and try not to get mobbed by them while fighting other monsters.

History

Prior to 0.10, ball pythons were known as small snakes and had a weak poisonous bite instead of a constriction attack.
