The Death Cobra is simply a gigantic carnivorous snake. It is the deadliest of the Death Snakes, its venom so powerful that it can kill a man within a couple of seconds after the bite. They have large hoods over their heads, probably for display. The females do not have hoods. They have long fangs in front of their jaws. After the fangs come the shark-like teeth, which they use to rip the meat of large herbivores. They have one, big eye in the middle of their head, which prevents them from being half-blinded(if the prey kicks at the side of the head). They live in small groups, resting in big rocks that are made of a very soft kind of rock. They dig tunnels in the rocks, making many entrances and exits. Every year, during the fall, all the groups gather for the duels between the males that try to win as many duels as they can. The winner takes the loser's females as his own. The contestants fight only using their body, and do not use their fangs. They are ambush predators, hiding in the grass until prey arrives. Then, they leap out and gobble up their prey.
