Sand viper

These nasty snakes inhabit the great desert of Al Bah JiRa. Mostly they lie hidden in the sand, where they lie in waiting for passing animals or even people. If an unfortunate person should come within reach of a lurking sand viper, he will see a scaly, horned abomination with a length of 2 steps and a thickness of 1 foot spring up seemingly out of nowhere and bite at him. The highly effective poison will kill him within four hours if he does not manage to get an antidote by then.
