Echuiriolath

This inoffensive snake inhabits forests and heavy copses; it can be readily identified by the bright yellow bands on its glossy black body. It is generally docile and will avoid people. Most bites occur when witless folk try to pick up this "pretty snake". Instead, the coireal is happy to hunt large insects. It should be left alone, for its venom is highly potent, one of the most lethal (10th lvl) natural poisons in Middle-earth. Symptoms appear in one to four hours, resulting in all but certain death from paralysis.
