Field record

Detects prey heat signature at distance. Minimal water requirement. Extends long periods without food in dormancy. Coils inside surfaced vehicle hulks — prefab structures and abandoned vehicles that retain warmth overnight and provide effective camouflage.

The heat signature detection is bidirectional. Operators running thermal suppression measures are detectable by Heat-Serpents at distances that still allow ambush. Several patrols have learned this the hard way.
