Viper Swarm

Creature 4 — animal, swarm

The frightening mass of shining scales, gleaming eyes, and fangs dripping with venom that constitute a viper swarm has brought an end to many an unlucky adventurer. Normally nocturnal, these notoriously aggressive snakes strike at anything that comes within reach, be it limb or weapon. Their venom is a potent toxin that leaves victims shaky and weak. Those who are lucky may receive a warning strike without venom before being attacked in earnest. Snakes of some variety thrive in every non-arctic
