Description (Initial Observations): This mutated snake grows to a maximum length of 4 m, and is a deep, cobalt blue in color. A xloe pos- sesses a single pair of lizardlike legs just behind its head which aid in movement, and its body splits into two separate tails, which gives the xloe the ability to use them as whips in combat.In addition, when excited or surprised, the xloe can slap its two tails together to produce a thunderous sound equal in force to a sonic blast, aimed in all direc- tions. This attack has a range of only 8 m radius, and can only be performed three times per day. Those who have never experienced this attack must roll against their MS x 5 or flee as if affected by the fear generation mutation, as the blast temporarily affects the victims nervous systems. Those who have suffered one xloe blast, however, can mentally strengthen themselves against furtherattacks of this sort, and they do not have to flee.Xloes live in any climate save arctic and high mountainous regions. They prefer fresh-water lakes, probably because of the abundance of wildlife in these areas.
