Description
Spitting cobras average about 7' in length at adulthood. They use their spreading hood to warn other creatures not to bother them, and generally refrain from attacking if possible to allow larger creatures time to retreat. Failure to retreat from the spitting cobra will likely result in the cobra spitting venom; the cobra can project its venom up to 5', and any living creature hit must roll a saving throw against poison or be blinded permanently (though the Cure Blindness spell can heal this injury). If the cobra cannot deter a creature by spitting, it will attack using its bite. In this case, those hit must make a saving throw against poison or die.
