Dragonbite viper
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 Blister 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 attacked Clay; however, he was saved by Peril, who burned out the poison 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 proved at the end of The Brightest Night, where a bite to the foot from one killed Burn in a matter of minutes.
