Snakes

First apperance: Ultima IV

Last apperance: Ultima VII/2



Description

Snakes rely on stealth. The normal adventurer won't notice them, until it is too late. The bite of a snake is very poisonus, and usually ends deadly. Physically however, Snakes are no challange for even the weakest adventurer.

Snakes can be found either near swamps, in deserts or in dungeons.

Evolution in the series

Snakes stayed the same after their introducion in Ultima IV, with no changes at all. (not that there was a lot to change in the first place)

Notable examples

Nate the Viper in the ruins of Magincia in Ultima IV. Nate gives the Stranger hints where to search for the rune of Humility and the Black Stone, before attacking, and dying in the process.
