{{ | {{Qud shader|M|Snakelite}} is a [[Properties#Metal|metal]] worm with the {{favilink|Light Manipulation}} mutation, two different [[Cudgel]] natural weapons, and a curious degree of machine intelligence. | ||
{{Qud shader|M|Snakelite}}'s {{favilink|Saf-T Lens}} deals 1-2 {{qud text|&RHeat}} damage and their {{favilink|Saf-T Coat Articulated Chassis}} is essentially a {{favilink|steel war hammer}} without the {{Qud shader|Y|Strength}} bonus cap. With average {{Qud shader|Y|Strength}} but a comfortable '''75 HP''', {{Qud shader|M|Snakelite}} acts as a beacon in the darkness while they melee and potentially [[dazed|daze]] a target while their companion fires projectiles at it from as far away as they'd like. | |||
Oddly, {{Qud shader|M|Snakelite}} [[Respiration|respirates]]. Why does a [[Properties#Metal|metal]] entity who bleeds {{favilink|oil}} breathe like a living creature? {{Qud shader|M|It's Snakelite!}} | |||
The player could also try to focus on the offensive application of {{Qud shader|M|Snakelite}}'s {{favilink|Light Manipulation}} by giving {{Qud shader|M|Snakelite}} some {{Qud shader|M|Ego}}-boosting equipment to make up for their '''14''' {{Qud shader|M|Ego}}, such as a {{favilink|knollworm skull}}, which prevents them from using their {{favilink|Saf-T Lens}}, or maybe give them {{favilink|mirrorshades}} for the face that they don't have. A lucky player may even obtain a {{favilink|chrome mantle}}, which prevents {{Qud shader|M|Snakelite}} from using their {{favilink|Saf-T Coat Articulated Chassis}}. Disabling the natural weapons of a creature who does not have hands is not advisable. There are better pets for ranged support. | |||
{{Qud shader|M|Snakelite}} comes shipped with a random gender that is rolled during world generation. This does not affect the pronouns used for {{Qud shader|M|Snakelite}} on their packaging. | |||
{{Qud shader|M|Snakelite}}'s dialogue consists of pre-recorded advertisements and consumer information, and involves various transcribed audio glitches such as buzzing, skipping, and pausing. They will always glitch when attempting to play back a recording of their manufacturer's name or information on {{Qud shader|M|Snakelite}} maintenance. The recordings also mention that {{Qud shader|M|Snakelite}} is equipped with machine learning capabilities and a now-disabled "learning monitor," as they assure you that "{{Qud shader|M|Snakelite}} is NOT sapient." Connections start being drawn when ''they address you by name.'' | |||
