Tunnel Fighter — The tunnel viper deals an additional 1d6 precision damage to creatures that are Squeezing or in difficult terrain due to narrow spaces.
Tunnel Travel — Narrow spaces aren't difficult terrain for the tunnel viper, and the viper can Squeeze at 5 feet per round (or 10 feet on a critical success).
