{{name}} is a [[Properties#Metal|metal]] worm with the {{favilink|Light Manipulation}} mutation, two different natural [[cudgel|cudgels]], and a curious degree of machine intelligence.

~~{{name}}~~ has two natural weapons: a {{favilink|Saf-T Coat Articulated Chassis}}, which is essentially an unmodded {{favilink|steel war hammer}} with no {{PV}}'''PV''' bonus cap, and a relatively weak {{favilink|Saf-T Lens}} that deals an additional {{heart}}'''1-2''' {{qud text|&RHeat}} damage. ~~{{name}}~~'s articulated chassis being on their back gives them a privilege rare for a worm: benefitting from the high {{AV}}'''AV''' bonus body armor can provide without disabling a weapon.

Notably, ~~{{name}}~~'s {{favilink|Light Manipulation}} has its level limited by their initial '''14''' {{Qud shader|M|Ego}}. [[Attributes#Equipment_by_Attribute_Bonus|Almost all Ego-boosting equipment]] is worn on a body part which ~~{{name}}~~ either doesn't have or must be open to use a natural weapon. A player who prefers ~~{{name}}~~'s Ambient Light to their lase's limited damage may direct them not to use their '''lase''' ability.

~~{{name}}~~ shares many properties with [[mechanical]] creatures: having an inorganic [[metal]] body, bleeding {{f|oil}}, and resistance to {{qud shader|R|heat}} and {{qud shader|C|cold}} while taking double {{qud shader|W|electrical}} damage.

However, Snakelite differs from [[robots]] in the following ways:

* They [[Respiration|respirate]].

* They do not have a [[mental shield]].

* They are not [[Properties#EMP_Sensitive|EMP-sensitive]].

* They are affected by [[hunger]] and [[thirst]];

** As a {{f|thirst thistle}}'s projectiles cannot {{qud shader|R|dehydrate}} inorganic creatures, these mechanics do not affect ~~{{name}}~~ as a companion.

* They do not have the ''NonMutant'' tag, thus may have its mutations affected by drinking pure {{f|warm static}}.

''How does this mechanical worm breathe? Why do they have a brain and the ability to consume? We will never know. {{Qud shader|M|It's Snakelite!}}''

In conversation, ~~{{name}}~~ repeats pre-recorded advertisements and consumer information, with frequent audio glitches. Their audio consistently fails when mentioning their manufacturer's name or information on ~~{{name}}~~ maintenance. Several of their safety features have apparently been disabled, including a monitor to limit their machine learning capabilities.
