A water moccasin, S, is a variety of snake, virtually identical to the normal snake but not generated at random. Water moccasins are poisonous to eat and have a 27% chance of imparting poison resistance.
Generation
They are generated only in swarms by quaffing from (or dipping an item into) a fountain (often killing unsuspecting low-level characters); their presence in the absence of fountain quaffing is indicative of bones or a rogue shapeshifter.
Due to their affiliation with fountain quaffing, they are the fourth most frequent cause of death on nethack.alt.org (next to soldier ants, jackals, and wands); it is common in #nethack, on hearing of a water moccasin death, to exclaim "Go team fountain!" in acknowledgement of this.
Strategy
Origin
Water moccasins are a species of venomous snake well known in the southeastern United States.
