Snakes are an enemy in Spelunky 2.
Behavior[]
Snakes slither back and forth along tiles, turning around if they meet a ledge. If in a one tile space, they do not move. They bite the spelunker for 1 HP if they get too close.
Snakes can appear out of pots and a more powerful variant exists known as the Cobra.
While weak, Snakes can still easily finish off low health spelunkers or leave them vulnerable to more dangerous threats.
