Giant Snake

The Giant Snake is a mutant animal Monster kept in the Facility. It is listed on the Whiteboard and is bet on by Internal Logistics. The Giant Snake was released during the first wave of the System Purge and is seen twice.

Physical Description and Attributes
The Giant Snake is, as its name implies, a snake of an abnormally large size and speed. This species of snake appears to share the characteristics of the King Cobra, Gaboon viper, Rattlesnake and an Anaconda or Python, all famously dangerous serpents. The Giant Snake may be a mutant hybrid of some sort, which is why it would be kept in the Facility

Any number of items could conceivably summon the giant snake such as a snake's skin, a bottle of authentic snake oil (liquified snake fat), or a fossils from a snake such as a rattle or fang.

Appearances
It is released in the Purge, during the first wave. As it exits its elevator, it wraps its body around a member of the Security Force and strangles him, while biting and swallowing another, all within a matter of moments.

During the second wave, a fleet of security guards catches a glimpse of the Giant Snake leaving the Elevator Lobby with the Dismemberment Goblins. Later, a man is flung over a railing by one of the Deadites, and the Giant Snake catches him in its mouth before he hits the ground. It then hisses at the camera.

Inspiration
Snakes have occurred frequently are common in horror and science fiction films due to their alien appearance and often dangerous nature. While there have been many examples of Big Snakes in horror films, the most iconic and infamous is the one popularized by the film Anaconda and its sequels. Other films with giant snakes or killer snakes include Python, Mega Snake and Snakes on a Plane to name a few not to mention King Cobra. This particular Big Snake may also be a reference to two separate antagonists in the movie Dreamscape. Giant snakes have also had supporting roles as monsters in movies such as the 1976 remake of King Kong. Big snakes also appear in some video games, such as the Yawn or Iluzija from the Resident Evil series. Historically, snakes are common in the myths and legends of almost all cultures that have encountered them, with prominent examples being Jörmungandr, the "World Serpent" from the Norse, Apep from Egypt, who was a personification of chaos, and the Chinese Bashe which was so enormous that it was capable of eating an elephant and other large animals.

Currently, villainous snake beings appear in some online video projects by creators such as Katie Mitchell and Vivziepop; such creations include Sir Pentious, Manda, Cockatrice, and others.

More generally, the Big Snake trope may be based in a common phobia known as ophidiophobia.
