Whether Daemonic or not, undisturbed Snapmaws invariably bask lazily in the sun on the bank of lakes, rivers, and other bodies of water. Snapmaw sites are scattered throughout the Carja Sundom, from the jungles of The Jewel in the south to the snowy regions in the far north. Also, Apex Snapmaws have Glowblast canisters on their shoulders instead of Purgewater canisters. Their gullet contains a reservoir of Metalbite, called a Metalbite Sac. Solar panels line its back beside the containers, acting as armor.Īpex Snapmaws resemble normal Snapmaws apart from their black armor and purple muscles. An array of resource containers that resemble armor plating line its back. The gullet is composed of a sac-like reservoir of Chillwater, called a Freeze Sac. In Horizon Forbidden West, the Blaze canisters are replaced with Purgewater canisters. In Horizon Zero Dawn, Snapmaws have an armored Blaze canister sitting atop each shoulder. There are two optical sensor arrays in the same position as a crocodile's eyes. The snout’s upper mandible is long, tapered and toothy, while the lower mandible is actually a chainsaw-like blade with a system of small grinders at its base. Its gait exactly mirrors that of a crocodile. A Snapmaw's chassis resembles the body of an enormous crocodile such as the extinct Deinosuchus, with a long, crocodilian snout, a heavyset reptilian body, four crocodilian legs and feet, and a long, stout, powerful tail. Snapmaws are classed as medium-sized machines, but compared to a human they are quite large. Horizon: Zero Dawn - The Frozen Wilds Review The second occasion was alongside three Banuk hunters: Urkai, Tatai ,and Tulemak, to help them gather Snapmaw fangs as part of their payment to the Oseram trader Burgrend for the supplies they needed to migrate from The Cut to the Carja Sundom. One was to clear them out from an ancient ruin known as Deep Din during the course of her investigation into its sudden flooding. However she quickly adapted and proved well able to deal with them. Unlike the Snapmaws she was familiar with, these were units that had been heavily augmented by HEPHAESTUS, and were known as Daemonic Snapmaws, much more formidable than the Snapmaws she has hunted previously. The farmers left after Aloy gave them the hearts, which were the last ones they needed to settle their debt.įinally, Aloy encountered, hunted and killed Snapmaws during her visit to the Banuk region known as The Cut. ![]() The profusion of Snapmaw chassis in the gorge where they had been conducting their operation had attracted Glinthawks, which constantly attacked Lone Light. ![]() She hunted and killed them to gather their CPUs or “ hearts” to give to a group of Carja farmers who had been killing Snapmaws for their hearts to pay off a debt. She killed the Snapmaws, allowing Lakhir to leave the island and return to Daytower.ĭuring her subsequent journeys throughout the Carja Sundom and environs, she saw Snapmaws at various sites. She encountered the machines yet again at a site on the Way of Broken Stones, in the vicinity of the Carja settlement Lone Light. They had trapped a Carja soldier named Lakhir, commander of a unit from the Daytower garrison, on an island in the middle of the lake. The Nora huntress Aloy first encountered Snapmaws at a lake in the region known as Valleymeet. This is the phenomenon that the tribes call the Derangement. To dissuade hunters, it weaponized Snapmaws and other machines, making them combat-ready, and also made them hostile to humans, attacking them on sight. Hostile to humans for hunting machines, HEPHAESTUS seized control of at least four of Zero Dawn’s machine manufacturing cauldrons, including RHO, the cauldron that made Snapmaws. However, subsequent events led GAIA’s self-destruction and all of the subordinate functions becoming true AIs. ![]() These had been ravaged to sterility when the Faro Plague destroyed the biosphere and thus exterminated all life in the mid 21st century. They were supposed to work under POSEIDON, the subordinate function responsible for detoxifying Earth’s poisoned rivers, lakes and seas. Snapmaws were designed by Zero Dawn’s governing AI GAIA and manufactured by GAIA’s subordinate function responsible for machine manufacture, HEPHAESTUS.
