Evil snake

if you like my work, would hella appreciate a wishlist on the upcoming game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5366800/TenFinger_Tony/?utm_source=gmod_workshop&utm_campaign=evil_snake

Evil snake go... idk what sound a snake makes. Hiss sounds corny?? *physics prop sliding sounds*

Eats people and gets chungus... but everyone it eats makes it a little smarter too, it takes whatever they knew. Climbing out of reach, outrunning it, dodging the tongue, it remembers how you got away and gets better at stopping exactly that once it's got you. And then I made an API to generalize that and probably spawned a maintenance nightmare but we'll see

Mash jump to get out. Climbs walls and ceilings, so not up there either.

Should work in multiplayer. Goes well with evil crawling thing, a crawler will hop on its head, spin its legs and the snake flies after you (propellor mode), and crawl it through evil fungus and it smears it everywhere.
