The African rock python (Python sebae) is an extant species of python that serve as one of many dangerous creatures in Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey.
Gameplay attributes[]
African rock pythons can frequently be seen curled around nests of edible eggs, when the player is outside of their detection bubble, and can be found in all biomes. They are capable of killing a Hominid by constricting them, and it is shown via a Death Cutscene.
African rock pythons are one of the most powerful creatures in game, even of constricting and suffocating a Machairodus to death.
Trivia[]
- In-game, the African rock pythons are much larger than their real-life counterparts, to the point where they are nearly the size of the extinct Paleocene snake Titanoboa. Because of this, they are often misidentified as such by some people. However, the real pythons are still significantly large, growing to between 9 and 11 feet with some being over 15 feet long, and are one of the world's largest snake species.
- They are currently somewhat glitchy in-game, sometimes either gathering much of their mass into one area of their body or appearing to fly a few feet above the ground, often when encountering rocks or other obstacles.
- An African Rock Python can be seen in the intro cutscene, hunting some sort of primitive white monkey which escapes due to a fish being dropped between the two, causing the monkey to notice it and flee.
