Snake Variants
Chrysos snakes have three variants:
Constrictor
Constrict: Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 6 (1d8 + 2) bludgeoning damage, and the target is Grappled (escape DC 14). Until this grapple ends, the creature is Restrained, and the snake can't constrict another target.
Venomous
Venomous Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 7 (2d6+2) piercing damage and 2 (2d4) poison damage. The target must make a Constitution save DC 5 or become poisoned.
Titan
Transform. The snake can take an action to change to huge size instead of medium. They are around the size of the titanoboa.
Consume (Huge Form Only). The snake makes a bite attack against a Large or smaller creature it is grappling. If the attack hits, the target is swallowed, and the grapple ends. The swallowed creature is blinded and restrained, it has total cover against attacks and other effects outside the snake and it takes 10 (3d8) necrotic damage at the start of each of the snake’s turns. A creature reduced to 0 hit points in this way stops taking necrotic damage and becomes stable.
