'''Hsstamean''' is a large segmented snake in ''[[Conker's Pocket Tales]]''. He is the boss of [[Willow Woods]] and the first boss of the game.
==Biography==
Hsstamean is a large segmented snake who, as depicted in his artwork, is a green snake, although his in-game sprite depicts him as having a gray head, three segments, and a tail. Both the top and bottom segments of Hsstamean's body are orange, but the middle segment and tail are both gray like his head.  


Its name is likely a pun on the organic nitrogen compound, {{w|histamine}}. The "hss" prefix of its name refers to the hissing sound of a snake, whereas "mean" refers to its villainous nature.
During the battle, Hsstamean moves along a set path in which it circles around some trees in the bottom-center of the stage. After doing so, Hsstamean slithers into the cave entrance at the upper-right and comes out of the one at the upper-left. Hsstamean does not directly attack [[Conker]], who can only take damage if he were to touch Hsstamean. Conker can stand between the trees to stay safe, as Hsstamean does not slither through them. To attack Hsstamean, Conker must use his [[Slingshot]] to shoot at his head. Hsstamean moves slightly faster after each hit. After six hits, Hsstamean is defeated, and Conker can collect his eighth [[Present]].

==Battle==
{{rewrite|section=yes|Moved off Wikia; unprofessionally written.}}
Being the first boss, Hsstamean is easiest to defeat, and Conker will probably not lose any health during the battle. Hsstamean will appear onscreen and start to go down a specified path. Conker must shoot Hsstamean with his [[Slingshot]] at any given moment, damaging Hsstamean. After each hit, Hsstamen will start to slightly increase speed, however this will probably not be a problem, as Hsstamean's long body can make up for being a large target. After six hits, Hsstamean will be no more, leaving Conker to his eighth [[Present]]. Hsstamean's only mean of attack is if Conker physically touches him.


On each side of the battlefield, there are two small areas where Hsstamean will not travel through, which makes them good camping spaces, as Conker can stay in them, safe from Hsstamean's path, and shoot Hsstamean as it passes by.
==Name origin==
Hsstamean's name is likely a play on the organic nitrogen compound, {{wp|histamine}}. The "hss" prefix of its name refers to the hissing sound of a snake, whereas "mean" refers to its villainous nature.
