Each round the poison remains in a victim's bloodstream (6 rounds), it deals 2 points of fire damage. This damage applies even if the victim has successfully saved against the poison, or is no longer taking ability damage from the poison. Immunity to poison does not negate this effect, though neutrilize poison and similar effects do. Poison (Ex): Bite—Injury; save Fort DC 16; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1 Strength damage and 1d8 fire damage; cure 2 consecutive saves. The DC save is Constitution-based. ### Magma Spit (Su) Every 1d4 rounds, a lesser flame snake can launch a sticky glob of fiery spittle at an opponent within 30 feet (no range increment). A successful ranged touch attack is required to hit. If struck, a target takes 3d6 points of fire damage and must make a Reflex save (DC 16) or catch on fire. ### Uncanny Dodge (Ex) This ability functions as the rogue class feature of the same name. #### ecology **Terrain** Any land and underground **Organization** Solitary, pair, or clutch (4–7) **Treasure** Standard coins, 50% goods **Advancement** 9–16 HD (Large); 17–24 HD (Huge) Lesser flame snakes are significantly more powerful versionsof minor flame snakes. They are also the most foul-tempered of the species. Abused by the greater flame snakes on a regularbasis, they frequently take their anger out on minor flamesnakes—or any other creature that wanders nearby.Lesser flame snakes appear nearly identical to minorflame snakes, with the exception of being quite a bit larger.Measuring 7 feet long and 3–4 inches in diameter, they areintimidating specimens. The only other significant differ-ence is the spike of hardened bone that grows from thecreatures’ tails.Of all three varieties of flamesnake, the lesser ones arethe least commonly usedas household guards, de-spite the relative rarityof greater flame snakes,because they are morevicious and cruel thanthe other varieties.Most would-be em-ployers shy away froma creature almost aslikely to bite its mas-ter as any intruders.
