Salmonsnake

The Salmonsnake is a boss encounter. Its resemblance is somewhat like a gigantic axolotl with a tongue and a very hard looking head.

Location
The Salmonsnake is a boss found in Level 5 - Mines, locked behind a door. After opening the door through lock-picking, using a red vial or damaging it enough, the player and their party will come across a room filled with rotting bodies. Underneath the water, an object shines inside it. Should the player decide to reach for it, the Salmonsnake will approach their party, initiating an inescapable battle.

Strategy
The Salmonsnake is a formidable boss with parts that do a lot of damage.
 * Aiming for the head is not a bad strategy, as the head has ~1000 health.
 * Destroying the eyeball causes the Salmonsnake to have difficulty pinpointing your position, reducing how often it smashes at party members.

Reward
After slaying the Salmonsnake, the party will receive the Stone Crown, and should they have a skinning knife, they can cut six pieces of Salmonsnake Meat, one for each section.

Trivia

 * By using the spell "Walk on Water", the party can cross the water that the Salmonsnake pops up out of, heading to a new location full of lizard men.
 * Using a Soul Stone on the Salmonsnake gives you the Salmonsnake Soul, which prevents limb loss for whoever has it equipped.
 * The Salmonsnake's name is a literal translation of the name in Suomi/Finnish, Lohikäärme, the lohi prefix meaning 'salmon' and the käärme suffix meaning 'snake'. The actual translation of the name into English would be 'dragon'. In comparison to the size of the player character and the Salmonsnake, it is as large as a dragon can be.
