Converting Greyhawk monsters
Actually, given the low HD of these things, maybe that doing a minor amount of damage isn't a bad idea.

Contrariwise, if the snake takes 5d6 damage upon expulsion then it could explain why destroying the carpet often destroys the snake, since that'll typically do more hit points damage then an average carpet snake has it'll usually emerge unconscious or dying.

By the way, I notice a couple of errors in the current stats.
Firstly, its bite attack should be +7 melee (BAB +3, size +1, Weapon Finesse & Dex +3)
Secondly, the Camouflage write up has "In addition, while it is unmerging with the carpet" - unmerged?
Now what feats do you fancy for it, Ability Focus (poison) is a pretty obvious pick and I'm thinking either Alertness or another combat feat for the other - Great Fortitude [Fort +6], Iron Will [Will +4] or Weapon Focus (bite) [bite +8 melee) all seem tempting.

I think unmerging was intentional, but "emerging" would work better.
How about AF and Improved Initiative for the feats? Get the jump on more opponents that way.

Cleon, did you see the bit in the proposed write-up about the destruction of the carpet? There's an additional Fort save for the snake to avoid being killed outright.
Emerging is fine, and those feats sound good.
Are we going to write an SQ about being bonded to certain masters, or do we want to leave that as flavor? I kind of like making it "official" in the mechanics, but it's no big deal.

How about Hide and Move Silently? So it can still sneak after emergence from the carpet?

Good idea. In fact, let's put all the ranks in Move Silently, since it already gains a hefty racial and size bonus to Hide.
