The Thazvaari Jungle Viper is a colossal, arboreal serpent that inhabits the dense jungles of Inland Thazvaar. Exceeding the size of common vipers, it combines potent venom with overwhelming constriction, making it an apex predator feared throughout the region. Its stealth and dominance have earned it both ecological importance and cultural notoriety.
