The bite of this sinuous serpentoid carries no conventional venom, but billions of specialized nanomonsters engineered to identify and dissolve the bonds between muscular and epidermal tissue layers. Many monsters find themselves significantly encumbered as their entire skin loosens, splits and peels away, while weaker, naturally evolved organisms may find the process even fatally traumatic.
The Excorimander's own raw, skinless body is coated only a thin, transparent protein layer, adhering firmly to the discarded hides of past prey. A steady secretion of formaldehyde preserves its patchwork shroud, the sharp stench often betraying its presence.
