| Reference | monst.c#line1776 |
A pit viper, S, is a type of monster that appears in NetHack. It is a type of snake that has infravision, and can swim and hide under objects like other snakes.
A pit viper has two poisonous bite attacks, and possesses poison resistance.
A pit viper corpse is poisonous to eat, but eating a pit viper corpse or tin has a 2⁄5 chance of conveying poison resistance.
Pit vipers generate YAFM when falling into pits or spiked pits, which they share with pit fiends.[1][2]
Generation
Randomly generated pit vipers are always created hostile.
Pit vipers generate among the random S that are part of the first quest monster class for Archeologists and make up 24⁄35 of the monsters that randomly generate on the Archeologist quest.
Pit vipers may generate among the random snakes that appear on the first and fourth variants of Medusa's Island. Five pit vipers are generated on the Plane of Earth at level creation.
Pit vipers generated at level creation are given a random item to hide under.[3]
History
The pit viper first appears in NetHack 3.0.0.
Message
- How pitiful. Isn't that the pits?
- You saw a pit fiend fall into a pit, or fell into one while polymorphed into a pit fiend.[1][2]
Variants
In variants that incorporate the Convict role, a pit viper is generated on the upper filler level of the Convict quest at level creation.
SLASH'EM
In SLASH'EM, pit vipers will not generate in Gehennom.
The Snake Pit of the Lawful Quest can generate up to two pit vipers at level creation, with a 9⁄10 chance of each viper appearing, and they may also appear among the random S generated at level creation.
