A hood, like that of a king cobra, protrudes from either side of its neck. Its head, forelegs, and wings are clearly draconic. Oversized viper-like fangs protrude from its mouth, dripping saliva. Its scales are glossy black, except on its underbelly, where they are fiery orange. Legends claim that the greatest and most venerable king cobras become cobra dragons. Although this is doubtful, these dragons personify the ferocity and regality of the magnificent serpents. Cobra dragons are among the most aggressive and greedy members of dragonkind.Cobra dragons lair in caves and subterranean caverns in tropical and subtropical jungles. They dislike swamps. Fiercely territorial, cobra dragons only tolerate the encroachment of others of their kind during the spring, when they perform a mating ritual that involves non-lethal combat. Once the eggs have been laid, the pair splits up. Cobra dragons prize skulls of other creatures as much as treasure. The more powerful or rare the creature, the more valuable they find its skull. Offering a worthy skull to a cobra dragon can improve its reaction to diplomatic endeavors. Charismatic and cunning, cobra dragons are often served by lesser creatures such as bakemono, gargoyles, and lizardfolk. Some tribes worship cobra dragons as deities. Combat Not being good flyers, Cobra dragons prefer to fight on the ground were they can use all the abilities of their breath weapon.Cobra dragons loathe magic, and are highly resistant to spells. They rely on their breath weapon and potent physical attacks to decimate opponents. A cobra dragon generally employs its breath weapon first, then attacks the toughest-looking melee combatant first, largely ignoring spellcasters unless they find a way to overcome its potent spell resistance. Bleeding Wounds (Ex): A wound from a young or older cobra dragon's bite attack continues to bleed after the injury was inflicted. Each wound bleeds for 1 point of damage per age category per round thereafter. Multiple bite wounds result in cumulative bleeding loss. The bleeding can be stopped only by a successful DC 15 Heal check or the application of any cure spell or other healing spell (heal, mass heal, and so on). Breath Weapon (Su): A cobra dragon has one type of breath weapon, a cone of fire. When the dragon’s fire breath is expelled, a stationary, black smoke cloud is released from its nostrils in a spread with a radius equal to the length of the cone of fire. A character who breathes heavy smoke must make a Fortitude save each round (DC 15, +1 per previous check) or spend that round choking and coughing. A character who chokes for 2 consecutive rounds takes 1d6 points of non-lethal damage. Smoke obscures vision, giving concealment (20% miss chance) to characters within it. Cobra Dragon Damage Reduction (Ex): Magical weapons do not overcome a Cobra Dragon’s Damage Reduction, only weapons that contain 75% lead over come it. (lead sling bullets)  Cobra Dragon Spell Resistance (Ex): A Cobra Dragon Spell Resistance is equal to one half of its HD, plus its Con modifier plus its age category, rounded down.Poison (Ex): Injury, Fortitude DC equals breath weapon DC, initial damage 2d6 Strength and sickened, secondary damage 2d6 Constitution and nauseated. The sickened and nauseated conditions last for a number of rounds equal to the cobra dragon's age category. Powerful Bite (Ex): All cobra dragons gain Improved Natural Attack (bite) as a bonus feat. Spit Venom (Ex): A juvenile or older cobra dragon can spit its venom up to 10 feet x its age category as a standard action. This is a ranged touch attack with no range increment. Opponents hit by this attack must make successful saves (see above) to avoid the effect. Spreading Breath (Su): An adult or older cobra dragon can breathe its breath weapon directly under its body, altering its shape from a cone to a spread with a radius equal to the length of the cone. The spread is centered on the cobra dragon's head. Skills: Climb, Hide, and Swim are considered class skills for cobra dragons. Cobra dragons have a +4 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, and Spot checks and a +8 racial bonus on Balance and Climb checks. A cobra dragon can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened. A cobra dragon 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. Cobra Dragons and Oriental Adventures If you are using Oriental Adventures, cobra dragons are a type of lung dragon, and gain all the traits common to this group of dragons.1989 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.Originally found in Dragon Magazine #146 ("The Dragon's Bestiary", Randy Johns)</blockquote>
