Distortionsnakes are unique monsters, found generally in the underground caves of highly advanced mechanical environments. It is unclear what first created these creatures, however each variety has striking similarities. Every variety of Distortionsnake is composed of 5+ distortion spheres, that seem capable of altering depending on environmental factors, and purpose. Each Distortionsnake is lead by a "head" sphere, in which each "body" sphere is programmed to follow. Destruction of the head, or severe enough damage to the several body spheres leads to the complete shutdown, and self-destruction of the entire Distortionsnake. At this point, there is a total of five known Distortionsnakes, each composed of varying materials, and with vastly different capabilities.

All varieties of Distortionsnakes attack in a rather straightforward pattern of charging the nearest living organism and slamming their dangerous distortion spheres into them. Within each type of Distortionsnake however, lies vastly different capabilities. The Spheresnake2 possesses 10 body segments, each of which is capable of dealing moderate contact damage. What makes this variety most dangerous is that this variants distortion spheres leave a trail of deadly poison, killing most other creatures within moments of contact with the deadly vapor. This poison is so powerful that it has shown to affect even purely synthetic, and robotic creatures with no flesh or blood. Each segment, both body and head are capable of producing this poison meaning that entire areas can become quickly covered as the Spheresnake2 moves around. Furthermore, each segment is capable of generating an aura of electricity upon receiving damage. The aura produced deals additional damage to any creature in the area, and reduces damage that segment takes while active. Additionally, as with all Distortionsnakes, upon spotting a target, the Spheresnake2 gains the ability to burrow through blocks.

Distortionsnakes are found in CyberSphere planets underground.

Luna's Lab Notes

~ The Spheresnake2, as with all Distortionsnakes, is uncapturable due to the monsters coding. Interesting creature though, as segmented monster types are 100% fan-made!

~ This type of Distortionsnake is by far the most deadly. The poison generated from it's spheres lingers for several seconds after it's generated, and is difficult to see. Additionally, the poison can stack as each distortion sphere segment creates the poison simultaneously. Lastly, to give an example of how potent the poison is: Wearing fully upgraded Valkyrie armour, the poison does 75 damage per tick. which kills most players in 2 ticks. (The poison can tick up to 15+ times if a player stays within the cloud). A brave adventurer once referred to this monster as a "hellspawn of a creature". I find this name quite fitting for this variant of Distortionsnake.

~ The Spheresnake2 occasionally manages to see through solid walls and aggro from impossibly far distances.

~ An effective method for fighting a Distortionsnake of any variety is to wait until it is about to strike you with it's head segment, then jump over it's body. The creature will turn in an arc to try and attack. Proceed to run under it's twisting body and then hop over it again when it lunges next. The turning radius on Distortionsnakes is poor, and so making the creature preform loops takes advantage of this weakness.
