The Ice Snake is a small, icy-white snake of the frozen lands with 42–54 hit points and no poison.

Overview

• In-game name: an ice snake
• Corpse: an ice snake corpse
• Behavior: it attacks the nearest target it sees and fights in melee.
• No mana: its script sets its mana to 0.
• Old name: its script keeps the old type name Icesnake as an alias, so old saves still load.
• Death Adder charm: it's one of the serpents a necromancer's Death Adder familiar can charm (its script marks it DeathAdderCharmable).

Loot

Every ice snake carries:

• Gold: about 30–75 in total (from its "Meager" loot)

It may also carry:

• A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 2 chances, from about 1% down to 0.2% each)
• A musical instrument (about 0.1% or less)

Carving

Use a blade on the corpse to get:

• 1 raw ribs

Location

• The Deceit brazier (a scripted item named for the dungeon Deceit): double-clicking it from within 2 tiles summons one creature picked at random from a list of about 90, and this is one of them. The brazier warns players who step next to it ("Heed this warning well, and use this brazier at your own peril"). It works once every 15 minutes and places the creature within 5 tiles. The summoned creature is set to attack the closest target, even if it would normally leave you alone, and it stays within 5 tiles of the brazier.

Tips

• An easy kill; it has no poison.
• Carve it for 1 raw ribs.
