The Lava Serpent is a big fire serpent with 232–249 hit points and a fire breath.
Overview
- In-game name: a lava serpent
- Corpse: a lava serpent 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 Lavaserpant 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).

Abilities
Fire breath
The lava serpent breathes fire at its target.
- Chance: 50% each time it gets a chance to act in combat, then it waits 30–45 seconds before it can breathe again.
- Damage: 5% of its current hit points, at most 200 (a full-health lava serpent deals about 11–12). It does less damage as it gets hurt. (100% fire damage; the type doesn't matter under New Bradford's combat rules.)
- Range: the target has to be within its sight range and in line of sight.
- It stops for about a second to breathe, so you can see it coming.
- A peacemade (calmed) or summoned lava serpent can't use it.
Loot
Every lava serpent carries:
- Gold: about 60–150 in total (from its "Average" loot)
- 3 sulfurous ash
- a bone
It may also carry:
- A magic weapon, armor piece or shield (up to 3 chances, from about 5% down to 0.5% each)
- A musical instrument (about 0.4% or less)
Carving
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
- 4 raw ribs
- 15 spined hides
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
- Its breath is strongest at full health; open with your hardest hits.
- Carve it for 15 spined hides and 4 raw ribs.
