Description
King cobras are deadly and aggressive snakes. They use their spreading hood to warn other creatures away, and make a distinctive growling noise rather than a hiss. They can grow up to 18 feet in length and are found throughout the world’s jungles. Primarily feeding on other snakes, they will still attack humanoids when threatened.
Those bitten by a king cobra must make a saving throw against poison or suffer 6d6 points of damage immediately, followed by another 6d6 points of damage in the following round. A successful saving throw halves the damage. King cobras are immune to the poison of other snakes.
