Devil Survivor

The Snake race has the Constrict Racial Skill, which not only passively gives the team increased combat initiative (and better chance for Extra Turns) when attacked, but also reduces the movement range of adjacent opposing teams to 1. The movement reduction can be countered using the Wilder race's Devil Speed Racial Skill, or by defeating the Snake in the team.

Devil Survivor 2

The Snake race has the Constrict Racial Skill, which not only passively gives the team increased combat initiative (and better chance for Extra Turns) when attacked, but also reduces the movement range of adjacent opposing teams to 1. The movement reduction can be countered using the Wilder race's Devil Speed Racial Skill, or by defeating the Snake in the team. Stronger Snakes have this skill changed to Dragon Bind which, in addition to the above, removes Extra Turns (even ones protected by Extra One) from attacking enemy teams, and prevents the attacked team's turn from being delayed.
