A snake-like creature living deep underground. Its head is covered in armor so that is resembles the head of a dragon

Helmet Snakes are small snakes that carry a horrific syndrome. Any body part bitten by a helmet snake will cause a bevy of symptoms, then turn black and fall off unless treated quickly.

Helmet snakes can be put to good use as exotic pets if you can manage to capture them safely. Helmet snake poison can quickly cripple an invader with constant pain and vomiting, making him much easier to finish off.

Butchering Helmet snakes WILL remove the venom and make them safe to eat. However if you outright drink the venom in adventure mode you can expect a slow and painful death as your upper body literally rots away to nothing.
