Editing Xia: Hungry Giant Snake Demon (section)

=Kung Fu Secrets=

* '''Amphibious'''
The Snake Demon function equally well in and out of water. 

* '''Army-killer'''
The Hungry Giant Snake Demon has four sword-arms, can vomit out streams of acid and bile, has a big whipping tail and a collection of funky supernatural killing effects to suit every occasion. Also, he's damn scary. On his turn, he can activate the ''Army Killer'' power for 3 Demon Chi. If he does so, he makes one attack against each enemy in the conflict. He may not activate any other multiple attack powers this turn, but otherwise has no upper limit to the number of attacks he can make this turn from this power.

* '''Demonscale armour'''
Whenever the Hungry Giant Snake Demon takes physical damage he can choose to spend 1 Demon Chi. If he does so, he can reduce the damage received by 5 points. This can reduce it to zero. 

* '''Demonic Regeneration'''
Once per turn, as a free action spend X Demon Chi to regenerate X Physical Resilience. X may not exceed Bone trigram. Cannot use if reduced to 0 physical resilience. 

* '''Superb Demonic Confidence'''
Once per turn, as a free action spend X Demon Chi to regenerate 2X Mental or Social Resilience. X may not exceed Hell trigram. Cannot use if reduced to 0 of either of above resiliences.

* '''Strength in Chaos'''
Spend an action to regenerate Demon Chi equal to Chaos Trigram.

* '''Point of Weakness'''
Each Snake Demon has a specific weakness to one material (such as hong-mu rosewood, or green jade). If attacked with this material then he cannot use his demonscale armour power, and cannot use demonic regeneration on those injuries. Defeating the Snake Demon in mental conflict will allow a studious Xia to discover this weakness.

* '''Croaked'''
On death (physical defeat) a Snake Demon vomits out a swarm of frogs - D6 for each point of Demon Chi he has left. The vast majority of these will die within a few days, but up to D6 will mature into [[Xia: Merciless Frog Warrior|Merciless Frog Warriors]] and D6-3 into Hungry Giant Snake Demons. The newborn/newly-vomited frogs burst and die if struck with weapons, of if a naked flame touches their skin.
