Gardener, King Cobra Snakes (was: Snakes (passive and aggressive))

Snakes would come in a couple of different variants. Harmless snakes would be found in plains and flower valleys, the would be green gardener snakes. If hit the will slither away from the player very fast. Upon  killing gardener snake the will drop scales, with would have two purposes

1.) Brewing -> Defense boost

2.) Armor

The second Snake would be dangrous, the King Cobra, found in the desert they can poison the player, and actively hunt you down if you get to close. Their would be a chance of them poisoning you then slithering away. They would hide from the sun in the shade. They would also be a extra threat in desert temples. Their drops would consist of fangs and scales. The scales would be used like listeed above. Fangs would be also used in brewing poison potions. (spider eyes would then make blindness poitons instead)

    If you right click a King Cobra with an empty bottle, you could get a Bottle of Fatal Poison. Or maybe the fangs could be the main ingredient.

    there should be more than two snakes though because in real life there are lots of snakes, like maybe five for each biome

    I think instead of just poison it would be better to add a effect more lethal to the player, like a swelling effect where you will slowly die. First you would of course be bitten, causing you to lose 2 hearts. Second about 30 seconds later you would have nausia and go blind for a little bit. Lastly the final effect takes place the player will start to rapidly lose health. I think that would be nice along those lines, biologically speaking that king cobras are deadly, not just poisonous.

    Maybe tame the green gardener snakes with raw rabbit meat?

    Add more snakes like a python, a boa, a rattlesnake or an anaconda.
