IT'S EVEN BIGGER THAN A FEATHERED BOA! It's... It's...

No special material, these guys can be 1-shot. Remember to arm your men with shields.

Going on the premise that Anacondas are like Giant Boas (I know they're not, but stick with me here), I am being attacked by a Giant Flaming Feathered Boa. I briefly considered linking to a google image search for Giant Flaming Feathered Boa, but decided that might be overkill.

You're being attacked by an Aztec god. You're probably doomed, but try to catch him with a GCS-webbed cage trap. Then you can build a temple and feed him sacrifices to appease him.

(You lucky guy. Shame that thing doesn't fly too)

...not what I was expecting. Either way, I can't GCS the trap, since I didn't catch the GCS, and then I think it died to a FB. Or left. Or something. It's gone now, anyways.
