Quick Facts

---

Appearance...
- A large constrictor snake, with a heavily armored head and studded scaled but thick hairy armor.
- Eyes are supposedly yellow, however all daguerrotype pictures show only a dark spot with a faint blue ring.
- Favor chambers burrowed out of the ice, and strike at unsuspecting targets that cross their path. From large bears, to helpless hares.
Habitat...
- Vinicia
- Vinincia wastelands, deep permafrost regions burrowing under the ice.
- Typically have large burrows, which they burrow out of the ice with both their corrosive venoms and crushing incisors.
Behavior...
- They wait under the ice for prey, feeling the vibrations of the ice from the footsteps. Some skoffin have been sighted swimming under ice flows to hunt seals swimming beneath them.
- While they are fearsome with their demonic eyesight, Skoffin are also constricting snakes that have powerful muscles that allow them to crush nearly anything if immune to their vision.
- Powerful venoms allow them to dissolve their prey with weak acids, making their rather fragile teeth less likely to break while chewing. Some report that they have beaver-like incisors for burrowing through ice, but no skeletons have proven such rumors.
