A Gargantua spitting cobra is a 12' long greyish-white snake. It can spit a stream of venom at its victim's eyes. It has been created by the Immortal Demogorgon in order to further her causes.
Combat
Unlike most small poisonous snakes, a Gargantua spitting cobra will attack human-sized or larger opponents unless directed otherwise by its creator, Demogorgon.
Poison (Ex): A Gargantua spitting cobra has a poisonous bite that deals initial and secondary damage of 1d6 Con if the victim fails a DC 15 fortitude save. The save DC is constitution-based.
Spit (Ex): Instead of a normal attack, the Gargantua spitting cobra can emit a stream of venom at the eyes of any opponent within a range of 20 feet. The cobra makes a ranged touch attack. If it hits, the victim must make a DC 15 fortitude save or be blinded. A creature blinded by a cobra's spit is allowed a second fortitude save after 1d4 rounds to regain their eyesight; if failed, the blindness is permanent.
Scent (Ex): This special quality allows a Gargantua spitting cobra to detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
Skills: Gargantua spitting cobras receive a +4 racial bonus to Hide, Listen, and Spot checks and a +8 racial bonus to Balance and Climb checks. A cobra can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened. They can use either their Strength or Dexterity modifier for Climb checks, whichever is higher. A Gargantua spitting cobra has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.
