Welcome to our Boss Showcase series where we introduce you to the various foes in Platypus Reclayed.

Boss 2 aka the Sky Serpent is one of the largest enemies in the game - Made from 3kg of clay!
[/p][p]Clay artist Anthony Flack said: “I imagined something built in stages like a rocket where you destroy it from the tail to the head one segment at a time. It can lose any number of rear stages and keep flying!”
[/p][p][/p][p]Wow, look at this mechanical menace - You may see the remains of this boss make an appearance…
