Revision as of 19:03, 7 December 2022

Cobras are predatory and ovivorous snakes found only in tropical rainforests and tropical swamps. Their bite causes toxic buildup. They eat smaller animals, and sometimes people if they don't find a smaller prey in time.

The toxic buildup from their bite is not applied when they are hunting, to prevent rotting their would-be prey. This makes them fairly unsuccessful hunters, as even with poison, they are not particularly strong fighters.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

Attack:
Rescue:
Haul:

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.

↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
↑ Eating won't go below 10%
↑ A Toxic bite of Power 12, Cooldown 2s. It also has a surprise attack, a stun of 14 power.

Trivia

Unlike in real life and most animals in RimWorld, cobras have no skeletons besides their skull.

Version history

0.7.581 - Added
0.12.906 - Can now lay eggs
0.18/1.0 - Now provides the new lizardskin, which merged its previous leather type, cobraskin, with tortoise leather and iguana skin.
? - Cobras no longer use their venom when hunting. Previously, cobras had a tendency to inadvertently destroy entire ecosystems when hungry. Predators hunt when hungry, but the cobra's bite inflicted toxic buildup which causes the prey's corpse to rot. This prevented the cobra from being able to eat the corpse, which left them hungry, so they'd go hunting again and the cycle repeated. Eventually they'd leave a string of rotting animals corpses and still end up malnourished.
