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 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.
