Useful Info
Water moccasins are larger and stronger than the adders found early on, but are otherwise very similar. They move fast, inflict poison with their bites, and move quickly through water. They commonly appear in the Lair and the Snake Pits, and may appear in the middle-Dungeon.
Tips & Tricks
- Ideally, you should be equipped to survive poison by the time you encounter them, but fighting from a distance is still advised. They're fast enough to outrun a character with Swiftness, so stand your ground and soften them up as they rush in rather than prolonging the inevitable.
History
Prior to 0.6, water mocassins were called brown snakes.
