The myth
The green anaconda, called sucuri in Brazil, is a real snake of the waters of the Amazon and the Pantanal and one of the heaviest snakes in the world. It lives in lagoons, slow rivers and flooded land, waiting underwater with only its eyes and nostrils showing, and kills by constriction. Its Brazilian name comes from Tupi. All across the Amazon, old anacondas blend into stories of the Great Snake, the Boiúna: people say a snake that grows very old swells to the size of its lake, and that its movements below change the course of the waters. The card joins the real animal and that ancient respect.
Why it has this power
A level 8 epic with ATK 2700 and DEF 2800: defense higher than attack shows a strength that waits and squeezes. It is a water-element Serpent, with Moon and Leviathan, the marks of the great river snakes. It is the highest step before the Boiúna among the region's serpents.
Did you know
Female anacondas are much larger than males, and can exceed five meters in length.
