The garter snake, S, is a variety of snake that appears in NetHack. Unlike most of their brethren, they are not poisonous, but can hide under objects and may prove to be an annoyance when generating in large groups. Garter snakes are often the first hiding monsters a player may encounter.
Generation
Garter snakes can appear in groups of 2 to 11, and will occasionally generate as peaceful towards neutral player characters.
Strategy
Garter snakes are quite harmless on their own, but their tendency to appear early and in groups can spell doom for a weaker or careless character, though they can be handled fairly easily otherwise. Their ability to hide makes for a rude surprise when encountered in shops, though not nearly to the level of most mimics. Pets that are not terribly weak themselves should have no trouble dispatching a group of them.
History
Garter snakes first appear in NetHack 3.0.0.
Origin
Garter snakes are commonly known snakes in North America.
