UPGRADED to Cobra!
Hold W to Spit venom, and poison animals with your bite!
The **Cobra**, formerly known as the **Black Cobra**, is a tier 8 Land animal in Mope.io. It's the equivalent of Giraffe, Stingray, Walrus, Snowy Owl and Camel.

## Technical

* Upgrades from Zebra, Donkey, Macaw, Turtle, Muskox, or Warthog at 25K XP.
* Upgrades to Cheetah, Gorilla, Toucan, Pufferfish, Rattlesnake or Snow Leopard at 40K XP.
* By holding `W`, the Cobra will spit out green balls of venom, that will infect non-venomous animals that come into contact with it. While using the ability, initially two venom balls will be shot, and repeats this, spitting up to 8 venom balls (16 if on mud when activating power up). The text in chat above the cobra will read "HISSSS!" while it does this.
* The Cobra can hide in small hiding holes and large hiding holes.
* It can eat all food sources, except for clams, conches, cacti, aloevera, coconuts, and large meat.
* Its prey is any animal within Mole tier and Donkey tier (tier 7 to tier 3
* Predators of the Cobra include all animals that are within Cheetah tier to Black Dragon tier (tier 9 to tier 17).

## Appearance

### Cobra (S2)

The current *"Season 2"* Cobra is dark gray, nearly black, covered entirely in large scales. Its body is curled up in a coil, with each coil becoming darker in color. Its head is small, rounded and lighter on the edges. It has a small hood behind its head with a lighter teardrop marking and a lengthy tail.

When spitting venom, its head will arc back, flare its hood, and open its mouth, revealing white fangs and a light pink tongue. Its tail shortens slightly. The Cobra and its skins will also periodically stick out their forked tongue.

### Gold Trim

The Gold-Trimmed Cobra has a near identical appearance to the Season 1 Cobra, however, the abundance of black stripes on its body are replaced in some areas by gold stripes.

### Celestial Cobra

The Celestial Cobra is also coiled, and its body has contrasting shades of dark purple. It has a longer pointed hood, and its tail is long and pointy like the regular Cobra's.

### Wyrmous

The Wyrmous is a large, dark green coiled snake, with thick scales all along its body. Unlike the other Cobra skins, the Wyrmous has three heads, with the middle head being the largest. Each head has fangs sticking out, and three spikes on top of their head. The Wyrmous' tail also has similar spikes; a pair on top of its tail, and two smaller ones on the other sides. When sticking out the tongue, each head has a distinct red tongue.

### Cobra (#GoldenAge)

The Season 1 Cobra is fundamentally the same as the current *"Season 2"* Cobra, although it lacks the scale detail. Its head is larger, with more spread apart eyes, and the hood is flatter. It has a pattern of dark stripes down its body, each fringed in lighter scales. In its ability sprite, its tongue is bright red, and its teeth are larger. Its tail is the same length in this position as usual.

### Classic Cobra

The old Cobra is a coil of dark gray and light gray stripes. Its tail is large and a forked tongue protrudes from its mouth, with two deadly fangs curving alongside it. It lacks the distinctive hood cobras have.

It simply rears its head back in its ability sprite. The difference isn't major, so it can be hard to tell if a Cobra is firing poison or not at a first glance.

## Strategy

### As a Cobra

* Use your venom to slow down prey and ward off predators. Eat your prey before the venom wears off, and make sure that they can't eat because that makes the venom wear off faster. After the venom wears off be careful; your prey will be able to use its ability now.
* When threatened by a predator, poison it, and then run away. If there are several predators teaming, try to hit them with both your venom balls. It will ward off at least two of them, so your threat will be less. The venom will disable certain abilities of predators, which will also help your chances of escape.
* With poison at your aid, you are master of trolling. Find a Dragon (or better, a Black Dragon!) with really low health, then poison it, and all the meat goes to you, so that will get you to Elephant. Teaming up with multiple Cobras to poison a big predator to its death is also an extremely effective strategy.
* If you can, try to use your venom powerup on mud, as it generates twice the amount of venom as the powerup normally would. Also, try using your powerup on climbable trees. That way, animals such as the Dragon or Black Dragon cannot eat you. Note that if you HOLD down `W`, the powerup will give four lots of two venom balls. If possible, spit as much venom onto a predator as you can. When shooting at animals that constantly fly (i.e. Dragons/BDs), do so on a tree so that the animal can't eat you, and you can shoot for as long as you like.
* Remember to ALWAYS aim carefully, because if you miss it's a waste of venom. Then you'll be left with no defenses against predators. Also, the best areas to survive is at the bottom of the land region or the land area right below the Arctic. Never go to the Ocean, you'll be eaten within seconds!
* Watch out for Eagles, as they can pick you up, and eat you in a matter of seconds, despite the nerfs. If you see an Eagle, run away immediately to avoid becoming a meal. To avoid them targeting you, hang around Gorillas which are easier targets for them.
* If you are unwilling to take risks and kill anybody, eat Bees and Red mushrooms. 1 Bee is enough to level you up, and you can use your poison on them to easily erode their limited health away. You can also poison frogs to jump 3 tiers instantly, as frogs now give 30K to 45K xp.
* Lastly, try to team up with a lot of cobras to kill a higher tier animal. This is easier said than done, but should be somewhat effective provided the Cobras use the environment around them, such as mud and trees, particularly whichever terrain the predator is vulnerable on.

### Against a Cobra

* Cobras aren't worth going for in terms of XP for most tiers, and are much more of a nuisance than a threat in general. Tiers closer to Cobra can usually rely on alternative food sources to level up faster. However, when on low health, avoid Cobras at all costs. Their venom can still kill predators as well as prey, especially when in large numbers.
* As a predator to the Cobra, if you see the Cobra rearing its head back to spit venom, try to bite it before it can do so. When on critical health, if you're near an area of water, dive when you see the Cobra rearing its head back to spit poison. Better still, stun it with a special ability to completely stop the poison. Don't flee in the mud as Cobras can shoot even more poison there.
* The best option is to either trap them in the ocean/a lake or in the Desert/Arctic. When being spit venom by a Cobra that's on a tree, climb the tree if possible. If not, simply go right to the trunk of the tree as the Cobra won't be able to aim as easily.
