White-furred snakes, also known as snow serpents, were a species of constrictor snake native to cold regions.[1][4][6][7]
Description[]
As their name suggested, these snakes were covered in white fur.[2][4][6][7] Their hairs were barbed so as to gain better traction on snow and ice.[1] They grew to be up to 100 feet (30 meters) long,[1][2][3] and were warm-blooded.[1]
Behavior[]
White-furred snakes would lie in wait for prey along snowy mountain paths.[2][3] They attacked with a powerful bite, but the danger lay in their ability to constrict and crush their prey.[1][2][3]
Ecology[]
White-furred snakes hunted in arctic hills, mountains, and plains, and could also be found in rough terrain and ruins.[4][5][6]
Homelands[]
They were endemic to the Bloodstone Lands of Damara and Vaasa.[7]
White-furred snakes could also be found on the world of Nehwon,[1][2][3] and huge versions were rumored to have been seen in Pandemonium.[8]
Uses[]
Their fur could be used for a wide range of unusual functions.[2]
