This small snake has beautiful markings on its head, and a long pronged tail to match its tongue. It is still small enough to wrap around your wrist, though it seems to be growing daily. Raza cobras are born with their venom glands already functional, allowing the small hatchlings to protect themselves from predators. They must be taught at a young age not to bite, even in play, and must quickly learn their own strength, as they can wrap around a thing and crush it very easily. Because of their diminutive size, these younglings are able to travel with ease, and it is common that they are found around someone's wrist, much like a living bracelet.

(The patterns on the back of their heads, change color and shape!)

As they reach adulthood, Raza cobras slowly stop growing, and can reach anywhere from fifteen hand spans to more than fifty. The patterns on their heads also intensify in color, becoming either a rich red, orange, bright yellow, green or blue. Only creatures with intense poisons boast such stunning colors, as they have no need for camouflage. Such markings also serve as clear warnings to predators who may foolishly think of attacking a Raza cobra. These serpents have scales that are almost as hard as a basilisk's, and differ in coloration, being either molted gray or tan. Another valuable possession these snakes have is their venom – it can make potions very potent, but also is undetectable in drinks, making it a popular and devastating poison. The gaze of one of these serpents is yet another remarkable weapon; it can hypnotize one for a short period of time, giving the cobra the chance to attack. Because they live such dangerous lives in the jungle, cobras who make their home in The Keep tend to live longer. When one of these beautiful creatures does die, they are borne off by their own to be buried. If the snake in question was specially close to their human companion, the magi may be gifted with a rare gift: the teeth of the cobra. Such a royal present is valuable indeed, as these teeth can puncture most anything. Daggers made from them are priceless and very uncommon.
