Scaled in mottles duns and greys, with variegated feathers in browns and darker greys on wings and legs, the cerastes is a stalking, cunning sort of predator. Against its cryptic colouration its lemon-yellow eyes stand out brightly -- as do the paired long, low crests of translucent reddish horn that run the length of its skull. Cerastes are belligerent creatures, territorial and defensive. The crests of a cerastes may each be powered and administered as a cure for poison.
A cerastes attacks from ambush whenever possible, diving to attack with claws and bite and inflicting 1-4 and 1-8 hit points of damage respectively. If lunging from a perch or trapped upon the ground a cerastes will bite only, using its claws as stabilizers. The corrosive saliva of a cerastes functions as a biological acid; on the round following a bite from this drake, the victim suffers another 1-6 hit points of damage.
