The common dungeon snake. A species of troglodytic reptile commonly found in subterranean spaces.

Useful Info

Adders are fast snakes with a poisonous bite. This poison can be lethal to low level characters, and fleeing is not an option in most cases, so dispatch them from a distance if possible. Failing that, at least soften them up with a few darts before engaging in melee until you're strong enough to kill them quickly. They can be found as early as Dungeon:2, and also appear in the Lair and the Snake Pits.

Tips & Tricks

  • To avoid taking more potentially poisonous hits than necessary, run away when the snake is two tiles away and let it close the distance to you. If you charge in or simply stand your ground, they can land one or two free bites before you even get a chance to take a swing.
  • Don't be stingy with your potions of curing. These potions are common, and immediately remove most status effects you may be suffering (including poison). If you haven't identified them yet, they are one of the most common potions, so feel free to take an educated guess if you're about to die anyway.

History

Prior to 0.10, adders were called snakes.
