  • "The Constrictor" had the ability to constrict others, killing by literally squeezing the life out of people and crushing them to death like a boa constrictor or anaconda. His arms were extremely powerful, allowing him to kill very quickly, or slowly, at his preference; his hands also had a strange numbing effect on whomever he touched. He also had a bald head, extremely pale skin and seemed to be gender neutral, but it is unknown how these related to his ability. However, they are features which seem to be associated with other constrictors too.
  • The constriction is a type of zerg building. In 2506, when the Reclamation of Aiur failed after the fallen Xel'Naga Amon corrupted the Khala, Hierarch Artanis led Phase-Smith Karax and a group of freed Khalai protoss to Khor-shakal in order to escape aboard the arkship Spear of Adun. However, all but one of the power cells were rendered inoperable by zerg constriction. Despite resistance from Amon's zerg forces, hybrids, and corrupted Khalai, Artanis and his survivors destroyed the constriction and escaped Aiur.
  • Constriction is a method used by various snake species to kill their prey. Although some species of venomous and mildly-venomous snakes do use constriction to subdue their prey, most snakes which use constriction lack venom. The snake initially strikes at its prey and holds on, pulling the prey into its coils or, in the case of very large prey, pulling itself onto the prey. The snake will then wrap one or two coils around the prey. Certain groups of snakes have characteristic patterns of constriction, including the number of coils they use and the orientation of the coils.

  • Constriction is a method used by various snake species to kill their prey. Although some species of venomous and mildly-venomous snakes do use constriction to subdue their prey, most snakes which use constriction lack venom. The snake initially strikes at its prey and holds on, pulling the prey into its coils or, in the case of very large prey, pulling itself onto the prey. The snake will then wrap one or two coils around the prey. Contrary to myth, the snake does not crush the prey, or even break its bones. Traditionally, it has been thought that snakes hold tightly enough to prevent the prey from drawing air into its lungs, resulting in death from asphyxia. However, some prey items seem to die faster than would be possible through asphyxia, so it has also been suggested that the pressure of constriction causes a rise in the pressure in the prey's body cavity greater than the heart can counter, resulting in immediate cardiac arrest. This new hypothesis has yet to be confirmed, but data indicates that snakes can exert enough pressure for this mechanism to be plausible. Research into this topic is ongoing. Certain groups of snakes have characteristic patterns of constriction, including the number of coils they use and the orientation of the coils.

However, all but one of the power cells were rendered inoperable by zerg constriction. Despite resistance from Amon's zerg forces, hybrids, and corrupted Khalai, Artanis and his survivors destroyed the constriction and escaped Aiur. Additional constrictions were found within the Nerazim capital of Talematros, rendering the dark templar launch bays inoperable. Once again, Artanis's forces destroyed them, rescuing the Nerazim people.
