Rafter Adder
A grey-banded adder as long as the rafters it hangs from. It always coils before it strikes - the turn it goes still is the turn to raise your guard - and what the fangs leave behind does not stop when the fangs do: the venom goes on burning through the wound whatever you put between you and it. Its blood is already cold, so lay all the frost on it you like, the Chill finds nothing to slow and the strike comes down at full force. It swallows your omens whole: whatever you have sealed away to strike later, its gullet takes first.
