These creatures range widely in size. They are not particularly aggressive, but will often lash out with a bite attack before attempting to retreat.

'''[[SRD:Skills (Creature Statistic)|Skills:]]''' Snakes have a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Hide Skill|Hide]], [[SRD:Listen Skill|Listen]], and [[SRD:Spot Skill|Spot]] checks and a +8 racial bonus on [[SRD:Balance Skill|Balance]] and [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] checks. A snake can always choose to take 10 on a [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] check, even if rushed or threatened. Snakes use either their [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] modifier or [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] modifier for [[SRD:Climb Skill|Climb]] checks, whichever is higher. A snake has a +8 racial bonus on any [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.

===Combat===
Viper snakes rely on their venomous bite to kill prey and defend themselves.

[[SRD:Poison|Poison]] {{Ex}}: A viper snake has a [[SRD:Poison|poison]]ous bite that deals initial and secondary damage of 1d6 [[SRD:Constitution|Con]]. The save [[SRD:DC|DC]] varies by the snake’s size, as shown on the table below. The save [[SRD:DC|DCs]] are [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]]-based.
