Grootslang

In Afrikaans and Dutch for "big snake".

Due to elephant evolution, Grootslang is an Elder Dragon that resembles an elephant and is descended from drakes, which are dragons without wings or flight. With four horns, four long-tusked teeth, a grasped trunk to keep objects from slipping, green eye patches on the eyes, stiffened scales, and a very long tail, it is full of grayish olive green. Grootslang has blue eyes.

Their canine tusks are so sharp that they can pierce anything from metal to basalt, and Grootslang uses its enormous power and weight to smash foes. Grootslang has the capacity to create blazing crystals and expel massive flames, paralysis, and crystals from its mouth, which spread far ahead. If these crystals remain on individuals or animals for an extended period of time, they will explode and cover a large area around them. In its natural state, it is resistant to all chemicals. Now in furious mode, weakened by metal and leaf forces such as charm and paralysis.

The Grootslang, an omnivorous animal resembling African bush elephants, is found throughout Southern Africa. Like bush elephants, it is a sociable species that travels in herds of cows and their kids. Adult bulls typically live alone or in tiny bachelor groups for traveling. Grootslang, when threatened, grows purple-blue crystals on its head, limbs, tail, and even tusks to serve as armor. Males have tusks and huge horns, whilst females and some males lack tusks and have short horns, including short ears.

Unlike elephants, the Grootslang eat largely insects and crustaceans, such as rats and fish, as well as watermelon and gourds. They are extremely territorial and will lie in wait beneath their swamp or cave, using their trunk and nose to strike out at anything that disturbs them. As a drake, like a lizard, these scales and scutes are ideal for insulating it from the cold of the icy settings in which it dwells, as well as absorbing powerful threats. Only the strongest predators in South Africa and other locations, like Inkanyamba, Mokele-mbembe, Serket, Dingonek, Alula Whale, Mamba Mutu, and Impundulu, can handle them. Spotted hyenas sometimes hunt on the calves.

These crystals are made from a specific liquid that is nourished by its nutrient-rich blood and produced inside its particular sac via the sweat glands and scales. Their mouths are capable of spraying. The Grootslang, like the Jirmu, consumes the leaves and fruit of cherimoya, papaya, banana, and guava, as well as the leaves, stems, and seeds of maize, sorghum, and sugarcane, and converts them into fuel and containers with crystals, resulting in a combination of fire and paralysis assaults via unknown enzymes.

Its trunk is estimated to be strong enough to lift up large animals, monsters, or guardians. The trunk is also used to protect itself or even to coat its legs. It coats its legs in crystals to make its smashing attacks more destructive, and besides using the crystals as a tool, it also uses them as a weapon to protect itself and kill prey.

The last use it has for the liquid is for adapting to certain habitats. The Grootslang is able to live in a wide range of habitats, from tropical forests to taiga, just by adjusting the liquids and temperature to its liking. Its tusks are hard enough to pierce through the rocky or icy ground of its environment due to being harder than canine teeth. Use their trunks for tactile communication or bait as a snake to instantly kidnap.

Grootslang is very hostile and gentle. Despite the creatures' lust for cruelty, victims can often bargain for their freedom by offering Grootslang enough precious gems or fish.

The cave is known as the "Wonder Hole" or the "Bottomless Pit." Supposedly, it connects to the sea, which is 40 miles away. According to local legend, the cave is filled with diamonds, and Grootslang was called home. Grootslang is reputed to dwell in a deep cave in the Richtersveld, South Africa. On the outside, this animal was in xeric shrubland, swamps, mangroves, mountains, and more.

If you are alone, consider shooting Grootslang with a tranquilizer arrow and letting it follow you to a safe location, such as your base, so you can tame it safely and you are also closer to all of your belongings.

Alternatively, survivors must steal its egg in order to tame Grootslang. After hatching from these eggs, which can be obtained from a variety of sources, the young must be given any type of milk. Hatching at a cool temperature, such as in the snow, with the aid of a cooling fan or a sizable refrigerator, or with the help of animals having a greater temperature of cold blood.

Bereshit - 75,000 BCE

The Grootslang, according to folklore, is a prehistoric animal that predates the creation of the earth. According to legend, when creating the Grootslang, gods who were inexperienced in the art of creation made a catastrophic error that granted the creature superhuman power, cunning, and intelligence. Project Pashnea, a scientific attempt by the Terran branch of Deities to construct any animals, monsters, or humans in terms of their own, produced Grootslang, the ultimate weapon.

The gods realized their error and divided the Grootslang into distinct creatures, giving rise to the first elephants and snakes. However, one of the original Grootslangs managed to escape, and all subsequent Grootslangs descended from this first sire. Elephants are said to be lured into its cave and then devoured there.

Grootslang doesn't have its own theme, unlike many other Elder Dragons.
