Titanoboa looks tiny?
This image is most likely the Titanoboa -

I found other creatures designed very well, but this one looks very.. underwhelming. Looks like your regular anacondas today. Titanoboa used to eat crocodiles for breakfast, but this one looks like it can't even swallow a human. I don't know... what do you guys think?

It's definitely longer than how the picture portrays! I think it's just the angle it's shot at, but when I've been in game - they look a fair bit longer than that.

That's actually a pretty realistic size for it. They could grow to be around 48 ft long and weighing in at over a ton. Check this video out and you'll see that the size is quite similar.

This was my first thought too. I'm hoping they'll scale its size to be quite a bit larger. If it's small ingame then I'm sure the devs are gonna get blasted by users so they'll change it anyway. I was hoping for an absolute monster.

Well, it's not the length I'm concerned about. It's the body width like its mouth doesn't look wide enough to swallow humans or other reptiles.

First, look up a picture of a python and look at it's mouth, and then take a look at this video.

Yes, I'm aware snakes stretch their mouth in the swallowing process, but Titanoboa was a very fat snake by default. It pretty much didn't need to widen its mouth when swallowing because it was very fat by nature.

Like these pictures for example that portray its real life size -

See how it was wide enough to swallow a human/reptile easily without any mouth stretching. The one in the game looks like it would have trouble swallowing big things like the snakes today.

As long as its atleast this size then I'll be happy (Concept art by Vlad for TSL)
