What distinguishes it most from other such creatures is the virulence of is [[venom]], with short-term [[syndrome|symptoms]] including dizziness, drowsiness, strong pain, fever, unconsciousness, and complete paralysis, in ascending order to the [[size]] of the creature bit. For a small creature like a dwarf, a single bite is enough to kill a [[dwarf]] within [[Time|seconds]], as paralysis of the diaphragm leads to suffocation. |
They are solitary creatures that normally flee contact, but have a <tt>[PRONE_TO_RAGE:1]</tt> tag in their [[raw file|creature definitions]], which means that about 1% of the time they will flip out on anyone they see. Mamba fangs are too small to pierce normal clothing reliably, but with some luck they can thereafter cause some real damage to your fortress. Overall, you're probably better avoiding them outright, unless you want them for their prolific [[egg]]-laying habits. | They are solitary creatures that normally flee contact, but have a <tt>[PRONE_TO_RAGE:1]</tt> tag in their [[raw file|creature definitions]], which means that about 1% of the time they will flip out on anyone they see.
