- large brown snake
- large white snake
- copperhead snake
- rattlesnake
- king snake
- black mamba
- anaconda

to be added:
- <none>

comments/ suggestions: feel free to add them below.

there are some things like eels that I would rather put in either their own category or with aquatic beings.

also mice tend to be more powerful than snakes... I am working on that :/

Yes group monsters in files if they should not appear 'possibly) in the same place.

request that another leveling scheme be added for snakes

I am thinking - dex, cun, (str or con, if you can alternate between these that would be optimal I think)

that way I can reduce their to-hit.

or I could use the thief leveling scheme... what say you?

[darkgod]

dex/cun/str and dex/cun/con ?
Sure

I'll call it "snake"
