Sand Viper
A fast, venomous snake that strikes from beneath the sand.
A slender serpent with scales the colour of sunbaked sandstone, nearly invisible against the desert floor. The sand viper lies coiled beneath a thin layer of grit, only the faintest disturbance of the surface betraying its position. Twin fangs glisten with a milky venom that sets the blood on fire and turns the limbs to lead. Desert travellers learn quickly to watch where they step — or they don't learn at all.
