Posted Nov 25, 2019As long as i know the find familiar animals does not have the characteristics of the real animals, like the harry potter invocated animals.
They don't have a real body and is really questionable if they even need to eat, drink or even breath.
If you pull the snake fangs, they might just disappear after beeing pulled.

Posted Feb 7, 2020The spell description states that when the creature hits 0 hit points, it disappears and leaves nothing behind. I would assume that means anything that came from the familiar, fangs or poison included, would vanish with it.

Posted Mar 10, 2020Just to clarify, poison is ingested and venom is injected. This should actually be a venomous snake not a poisonous snake.

Posted Apr 15, 2020What is the point of a poisonous snake being a familiar seeing as how they can't take the attack action? Wouldn't any regular snake be basically the same? Just seems weird that they went out of their way to make "Poisonous Snake" a familiar when the "Poisonous" part of it can never be used with RAW.

Posted Apr 18, 2020while the poisonous part of the snake is useless as a wizard familiar warlocks with the pact of the chain can make them attack. also it has a +3 to dex and a 30 ft swim speed so it makes a good versatile scout
edit: none of the familiars added by pact of the chain have swim speeds so this may be the best underwater combat familiar as well.

Posted Jul 2, 2020Some snakes poison can kill people in minutes, with no chance of the poison being neutralized. 5 poison damage and a 10dc saving throw is not enough

Posted Jul 3, 2020Although on the Venom/poison subject... The laws of nature could be different in D&D so this could be classed as a poisonous snake. (But yes in real life this would be a venomous snake)

Posted Jul 11, 2020Yup, if you bite it and you die, it's poison. If it bits you and you die, it's venom.

Posted Jan 8, 2021Incidentally, why doesn't a snake have keen sense of smell? Snakes have pretty much got 3D smell-o-vision.
