They spawn individually and slither the underground, attacking anything smaller than themselves; they continuously grow through their entire lives, with the oldest snakes being nearly as heavy as a fully grown [[dwarf]], and they may attempt to take a bite out of one if provoked. Helmet snakes are distinct for their extremely potent [[Syndrome|venom]], which causes nausea, bruising, bleeding, fever, dizziness, swelling, oozing and even necrosis on those it bites{{cite talk|v0.34 talk:Helmet snake#Bite symptoms}}. Without proper protection, a helmet snake can very easily kill a dwarf. |

They are born adults and can't be rendered fully tame. A female trained snake can be placed in a [[nest box]], where it'll lay a quite large amount of [[egg]]s, or either gender can be [[butcher]]ed for a significant amount of returns (note the returns noted to the right represent a fully grown snake, younger ones will yield less). Products made of helmet snake parts are [[Item value|worth]] twice more than those made of common domestic animals. You may also try and use them for [[fortress defense]] - you can very easily cripple a [[goblin]] if your snake hits a bite attack, though the invader's armor and dodging skills may help them shrug it off, in addition to putting your pet in mortal danger. |
