Cobras are an enemy in Spelunky 2.

They spawn naturally in Temple of Anubis and the Duat, but can also appear from the inside of Pots or spawned by Tiamat.

Behavior

Cobras behave identically to normal Snakes, although every three seconds, Cobras stop and spit a glob of green venom forwards. Cobras will also immediately spit before turning around upon meeting a ledge.

Cobra spit inflicts poison on any entity it hits, but otherwise deals no damage. Spit also instantly kills entities that start with 1 HP, such as Spiders or Cat Mummies, with the exception of other Cobras or Snakes.

Spawns:	•The Mines •Inside certain Pots
Health:	1 HP
Damage:	• 1 (Contact) • 1 (Venom)
Stunnable:	No
Corpse:	No
Size:	Normal (1x1)
Notes:	• Venom attack hurts other enemies as well, including Damsels. • Shopkeepers do not take damage to Cobra venom.

Cobras are weak but dangerous enemies that are essentially advanced Snakes.

They spit projectile venom in an arc before moving a small distance and firing again. The trajectory and range of the venom is identical to that of a light object (such as a rock) being thrown straight forward.

Cobras can sometimes chain attacks on stunned targets, resulting in an unavoidable death if you get caught in the venom.

Cobras sitting on a single-tile-wide platform will not turn around, so can be approached safely from behind.

Cobra spit will also damage and potentially kill other characters (including Damsels and other Cobras).

They can not anger Shopkeepers by spitting on them, but can still anger them by attacking the Damsel in kissing booths, Hired Hands available for hire, or breaking an unpaid Mystery Box. If a patrolling Shopkeeper is hit by their spit, they will drop their Shotgun and remain immobile and won't react to the player unless they are damaged, allowing the possibility of earning Shopkeeper forgiveness if the criteria is met.
