Transparent Cobra

This cobra is misnamed it is in fact a teleporting cobra. The misunderstanding is mostly due to it's remote  jungle home and how few of it's victims get away. It will eat any meat at all, as long as it killed it. They come in a mated pair and either 3-30 eggs or 2 -20 young (50/50). The cobra's will recklessly attack a group of "dinner" no matter what the groups power or nature. When attacked the cobra's have a 75% chance of teleporting away and making the combatant miss. they typically teleport to a new position to attack from(max of 20 feet) The suggested stats:

HD 3
attacks as 8 hd
Damage 2d6 plus save vrs poison of take an additional 2-12
Ac 15 /05  plus 75% miss chance due to teleporting away

Fauna The Remember Bird

These birds come in 3 varieties(detailed below) but they all share the following. The bird will present a small token of what it is going to convey(the token will be directly related for the coming vision).This token(if held) will give a very brief flash insight in the brain of the holder.Their origin is lost to time. If speak w animals is cast the chirping will be revealed as"Take this Please!"i
The Common Remember Bird reveals insight about the past. For example it will give a view of a power king if you were in the ruins of his city Or maybe seeing ones grandmother you never met.

The Uncommon Remember Bird reveals the present. You might see the throne room of a noble you should see, Or maybe what your mother is up to.

The Rare Remember Bird will reveal the future. Not a possible future but the definite future. It will reveal an enemy(perhaps showing a weakness) Or you grown up son, who looks a lot like you

In all cases the visions are crystal clear, but fragmented


other than all of this, it is a just a small bird

DMs NOTE
These can be used to advance a plot or foreshadowing or to advance the player's back story
