Abilities
Snake Empathy (primal) — A goblin snake can communicate with snakes.
Coiled Strike — As Reactive Strike, but the goblin snake can use this reaction only if it's Coiled.
Coil — The goblin snake uses an action to coil itself, increasing its reach with its fangs from 5 to 10 feet. After the goblin snake Strikes with its fangs, it becomes uncoiled.
Goblin Breath (olfactory, poison) — The goblin snake belches a cloud of nauseating vapor in a 15-foot cone. Non-goblin creatures within the cloud must succeed at a DC 16 Fortitude save or become Sickened 1. On a critical failure, a creature is also Slowed 1 for as long as it is sickened. Creatures that successfully save are immune for 24 hours. The goblin snake can't use Goblin Breath again for 1d4 rounds.
