Pythonaconda

A pythonaconda, also known as a snake, is a dangerous pet kept by some people living in Republic City, and it feeds on smaller animals such as fire ferrets.

History
Before 170 ASC, Mr. Feng kept one of these in his pet shop. He had a small fire ferret that he planned to feed to it, and it in the snake's cage. Before the pythonaconda had a chance to eat the fire ferret, however, Bolin opened its cage and grabbed the fire ferret. This caused the pythonaconda to leap out of its cage and try to strangle Bolin, but Mako arrived and threw the snake into its cage once more.

Behavior
The pythonaconda is easily awoken, and will attack any creature that takes its food. Its primary form of attack is to strangle any near enemies, by wrapping around and crushing the enemy until it can't breathe anymore.

While the pythonaconda can be domesticated, it still remains dangerous and will still attack humans.

Anatomy
A pythonaconda has a very long and thick body with rough scales, and a slender head that resembles a snake. Inside its head has numerous very sharp teeth, and a forked tongue which can stretch far out of its mouth. The snake also has four feet with very large claws.

Connection
Like a python, the pythonaconda strangles its victims rather than biting or poisoning them. It is also very large and is capable of strangling a human.

Trivia

 * The pythonaconda is one of the few creatures in the Avatar world where its name does not represent its features; pythons and anacondas are both snakes without feet or claws.
