| A sinuous serpent whose body crackles with volatile electricity. Its electric shroud inflicts a painful shock on anything that injures it, and if allowed to gather sufficient charge, can be unleashed by the serpent as a powerful torrent of electric energy. |
Useful Info
Shock serpents are snakes which can gather electrical charge for a few turns, and release a powerful torrent of lightning (2d29). The following message will be displayed when a Shock serpent is almost ready to release its electrical charge:
The shock serpent bristles with a violent electric nimbus!
However, when they take more than 4 points of damage, they will lose all the accumulated charge dealing some minor damage to any creature near them. They are also able to shoot weaker bolts of electricity (2d15), similar to those fired by electrical eels. They can be found in the Snake Pit.
History
Shock serpents will be added in 0.14.
