==Desirability==
'''Snakebite'''<ref>{{source ref|0.30.0|art-data.txt|729}}</ref> is a strong weapon for a good chunk of the game: it offers somewhat powerful, fast attacks which have a 40% chance to [[slow]] enemies. In specific, curare poisons as normal, inflicts slow, and deals 2d6 extra damage.

However, Snakebite's base damage is fairly low. Curare does nothing against poison resistant enemies, making Snakebite little more than a +8 whip. Even against vulnerable enemies, you may prefer a [[brand]]ed [[demon whip]] or [[eveningstar]] by the late-game.

A rare vault in the early [[Lair]] is guaranteed to contain Snakebite; it consists of a long, winding corridor filled with [[adder|adders]], [[water moccasin|water moccasins]], and [[black mamba|black mambas]], with Snakebite sitting at the very end.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.19]], Snakebite merely poisoned opponents instead of inflicting [[curare]].
*Prior to [[0.15]], Snakebite had an enchantment of +5.
*Prior to [[0.14]], Snakebite had an enchantment of +5, +10.
