| A large and astonishingly fast tropical snake whose bite bears a deadly venom.
“The latter lived in the country, and before his house there was an oak, in which there was a lair of snakes. His servants killed the snakes, but Melampus gathered wood and burnt the reptiles, and reared the young ones. And when the young were full grown, they stood beside him at each of his shoulders as he slept, and they purged his ears with their tongues. He started up in a great fright, but understood the voices of the birds flying overhead, and from what he learned from them he foretold to men what should come to pass.” |
Useful Info
Black mambas are very fast snakes with painfully venomous bites. Although not the deadliest of the snakes, they are hard to escape and can be very dangerous to squishy characters when first encountered. They can be found in the Lair and the Snake Pit.
Tips & Tricks
- Be cautious around this creature if you lack poison resistance or decent AC. Their bites can cause serious damage even if poison isn't an issue.
- Their willpower isn't especially high, which makes them susceptible to Hexes and wands of disintegration. Considering their high evasion, disabling them (or simply blowing them up) may be your best bet at surviving an early encounter even if it takes you a couple tries.
