Hiverent

Description
A serpent-type virusbeast. Boss class.

Originally found in the Server Wetlands, this particular beast was left as a guardian over the remnants of the Shattered Network. As such this particular specimen has mutated to adapt to intruders. Fiercely territorial, these creatures are highly intelligent and adapt quickly to the circumstance. They protect their lair to the death if they have to and decorate the cavern with the bodies of dead challengers.

The main serpent is an ambush predator that charges in with a headbutt and follows through with a heavy bite attack. If that doesn't work it will quickly retreat to a safe distance. If it feels threatened it will unleash a laser attack that comes from its frills on the side of its head. These creatures are usually found in dark and damp places, such as under logs, in stumps, lurking in caves, or even in the carcasses of deceased creatures. Armed with sharp teeth and frills that can send lasers flying, make it a tough in close and long range.

Boss
As a boss this creature as three forms, seemingly in order to adapt to intruders. They are as follows; a light form with an emphasis on speed, an armored form that focuses on defense, and a final form that excels in long range capabilities. Each phase gives the boss a boost in stats and health.
