About

This creature resembles a small metallic cobra. Its body sheens with a silver hue and its eyes are small pinpoints of red light.

The iron cobra is a construct that resembles a small, 3-foot-long cobra. Its eyes give it an evil and determined – and almost intelligent – look. The iron cobra is most often used to guard a treasure or to act as a bodyguard to its creator, though on some occasions it can be ordered to track down and slay any creature who is within 1 mile and whose name is known by the creator.

The iron cobra attacks by biting its opponent.
