Well, according to Paracritters, no one really knows how a juggernaught gets
rid of all that heat, and why they don't croak from it... so I don't think a
human would be able to do it that well.

On the other hand, try throwing a LARGE variation of the Mimic Snake on your
runners... nothing foils thermovision like having a bod temprature equal to
the air temprature.

Now *there's* a nifty idea. I knew that subscribing to this list would
provide no end of twisted ideas....

Ah yes, "Buffy"...who now has a playmate "Angel" (that DAMN Anaconda
that we
picked up while wandering around the Phillipines/Malaysia (sort of). The
stories of the "Critters of the Game" here are growing.

Angel has a temper, and still mostly wild. Eugene (the Snake Shaman), has got
a bundle of effort going into Angel, but the other animals (and now the
drones) are getting into things a bit harder.

Seen "Anaconda?" I think you would get the idea for "Angel." Now
just make
that snake Dual Nature and able to constrict around an astral target (you
know, like the magician projecting over there???)

Angel is an Awakened Anaconda, roughly 30 feet long. Currently he has taken
on the attitude of being the Enforcer between Kray (Leader), Buffy (Luring
Device), Kenny (Drone with a Big Gun), and Shamantyr (Raven Spirit purveyor of
Food). Together they made up a rather interesting additional security for an
apartment complex that Binder still has an apartment in.

Oh, and the look on K's face when I had Binder walk in on the snake shaman
during feeding time ...

I think you missed the smilie.
I was referring to BtVS, especially the episode where Spike (now wheelchair
bound) makes a comeback....
