In Dungeons & Dragons, a snake is a common creature found in various environments, from jungles and swamps to deserts and dungeons. Snakes can be mundane or magical, ranging from small, harmless species to massive, venomous serpents and supernatural beings.

Basic snakes appear in the Monster Manual, typically categorized as Beasts. These include Poisonous Snakes, known for their bite attacks that deal piercing damage and poison damage, and Giant Constrictor Snakes, which use their powerful bodies to grapple and restrain prey. These creatures are often used as environmental hazards, low-level enemies, or familiars for spellcasters using the Find Familiar spell.

Magic items and spells also incorporate snakes. The Staff of the Python transforms into a giant snake, while spells like Animal Friendship or Polymorph can influence or transform creatures into snakes. Some deities, such as Zehir in certain campaign settings, are associated with serpentine themes, granting snake-related powers to clerics and warlocks.

Whether as simple wildlife, cunning villains, or divine messengers, snakes in D&D add depth to encounters, embodying danger, wisdom, or mysticism depending on their role in the story.
