The dragonbite viper is a deadly species of venomous snake that mostly dwells in the Kingdom of Sand.
Dragonbite vipers are first mentioned in Scorpion Den, where it was said one had been spotted near an orphanage, although it was a false story made up by Addax to occupy Thorn, so he could exchange Sunny for his family. Qibli explained to Sunny what it was shortly before she was kidnapped and taken to Burn's stronghold.
The viper was first seen when Burn opened the box Bliter sent to her when the three sisters met outside of the stronghold. She recognized the hissing and killed the snake easily. However, Blister had sent a second snake as well, which sprang out and bit Burn's ankle, killing her. The second viper then tried to attack Sunny, but Clay pushed her out of the way and got bitten instead; however, he was saved by Peril, who burned out the venom before it could spread to his heart. Peril then killed the viper by stepping on it.
Abilities
Dragonbite vipers are one of the most feared animals in Pyrrhia because, as their name implies, they are the only known snake that can kill a dragon with one bite. This was proven at the end of The Brightest Night, where a bite to the foot from one killed Burn in a matter of minutes.
A dragonbite viper's bite turns black and is at first the pattern of a starburst, and can be seen spreading through a victim's body. When it comes in contact with dragon flesh, the dragon is seized with spasms, convulsions, and terrible agony as well.
Trivia
- It is possible that dragonbite vipers are more agressive than normal snakes, as the second one that Blister had hidden in the box struck at Burn, and later Clay, with no warning.
- Dragonbite vipers are rare, according to Starflight.
- If heat is applied to the wound made by the dragonbite viper, it can "cancel out" the venom and the dragon can still survive as long as the wound is far away from the heart. An example of this was when Clay was bitten on the leg and Peril used her heated scales to burn the venom and save Clay.
- A dragonbite viper is the only known snake in Pyrrhia that can kill a dragon with one bite.
- Dragonbite vipers are mostly found in the Kingdom of Sand
