Description
Dream snakes are noctural hunters. They are white, gray, pearl, or smoke in color, growing to perhaps 4 feet in length. Their bite is poisonous, but the poison causes sleep, not death. Once prey has been drugged, the snake will swallow it (thus, the prey die of suffocation). The snake will flee a drugged attacker. Those who are poisoned and save vs constitution will sleep for one turn. Those who fail their constitution roll will sleep for one turn, then go into convulsions until they die (about a day later for humans).
