🐍👑 King Cobra — Every Step Could Be Your Last

A deadly snake overhaul that adds venomous encounters, Brazilian-inspired serpents, a ruthless mini-boss, and new venom-based combat mechanics to Hytale.

⚠️ Watch Your Step

Something slithers in the grass. You hear a hiss — but it's already too late.

King Cobra transforms exploration into a tense, high-stakes experience. Venomous snakes now lurk across the world, each species with unique behavior, damage, and poison mechanics. And at the top of the food chain sits the King Cobra. If it bites you, start saying your goodbyes.

🐍 New Snake Species

Multiple snake variants roam the world, each with different health pools, bite damage, and venom effects. From common snakes to rare, aggressive predators — you'll never feel safe in tall grass again.

• Jungle Snake — lower health, fast threat
• Dusk Snake — more dangerous bite + stronger poison

Brazilian Snakes

• Jararaca — A tough, resilient viper with potent poison. 1.5× the size of a common snake. Do not underestimate her.
• Sucuri — heavy-hitting variant with solid health. They are also have 1.5x the size of a common snake.

👑 The King Cobra — Mini-Boss

The apex predator. Rare, aggressive, and extremely venomous.

• Summons other cobras to fight alongside it
• Heavy natural armor — you can't just rush in
• Immune to all poison types — don't bother with venom tactics
• King Cobra Venom — If you fight without an antidote, you probably will die!

Prince and Princess Cobra

Like their father, they are rare and aggressive. But both have half the health of the King and do not summon minions to help. Don't let your guard down though — when they die, there's a small chance they will summon the King Cobra himself to avenge them. Be careful!

Golden Cobra — The Myth After the Monster
Legends say that when an apex predator falls, the world sometimes answers… with something worse.

After defeating the King Cobra, there’s a 1% chance its “echo” will manifest as the Golden Cobra — a rarer, stronger variant with shimmering scales and a nastier temperament. If you thought the King Cobra was the top of the food chain, the Golden Cobra is the part where the food chain starts laughing.

• Spawn rule: 1% chance to appear on King Cobra death
• Power: higher damage / higher survivability
• Intent: a fight meant for prepared players — and a reward meant to be remembered
