A mlarraun was a snake with dark brown to black scales and a head shaped like a thin arrowhead . Behavior . They passed the day sleeping , sunbathing , or hunting . When hunting , they would stalk their prey and could kill up to several herd animals or other big creatures at once , saving them for later consumption . A mlarraun could eat fresh meat , rotting carrion , and food contaminated by its own poison . Mlarrauns were not intelligent , lacked cunning , and were incapable of expecting danger . Quite a number were inadvertently trampled by hooved beasts . They could climb and swim as well as crawl . Combat . Mlarrauns could bite or spit a poison that caused blindness for a number of hours . This did not need to contact the eyes to be effective . They had the strange ability to fall into deep torpor state when specifically targeted by a magical effect . A mlarraun ' s scales turned hard and grey to protect it from attack , which gave them the name " stone snakes " . Its body , however , remained flexible and could even be posed and adjusted by others without waking it .

There they laired amidst the rolling , hilly terrain along with numerous other kinds of serpents . Some were found beyond these lands , usually carried away by others . Uses .

Artisans shaped them into handles , ornaments , and building scrollwork , which merchants sold . Some were even sold as toys . This fell out of practice as the mlarrauns began waking up . Some , however , did this deliberately , using the stone snakes in traps or as dangerous gifts for enemies , and hired adventurer s to capture mlarrauns . This practice was not so common , as the period of torpidity was unpredictable and varied widely . They were most often used in this manner by yuan - ti and other Scaled One s . Yuan - ti and neutral evil spellcaster s could use mlarrauns as improved familiar s .
