RADAR: None... 0

DEFENCES: Smaller Slitherfangs are sometimes attacked by enormous creatures like Seadragons Giganticus Maximus, who grab them by the tentacles and pull them out of the ground like worms. But mostly Slitherfangs dig too deep too quickly to be caught... 10

Deep beneath the bogs and quicksands of the barbaric Archipelago, SOMETHING is stirring. Picture an unwary Viking out looking for clams on the beach. Suddenly a repulsive tentacle squirms its way up from the sand and wraps itself round his ankle... The sand gives a bubbly belch as the Viking is dragged down below the surface, never to be seen again. The Slitherfang has struck again.

Slitherfangs are truly giantic underground creatures that live below the surface like revoltingly enormous worms. They are behind the mysterious disappearance of thousands of Vikins and vast quantities of Bog and Heather Dragons.
