Cobra

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. This it to prevent them rotting their would-be prey and being unable to eat it, but also leaves them at a significant disadvantage. Already commonly unsuccessful hunters before this change, they will now often lose fights and die while trying to hunt.

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.
