- Name: Cobra
- Designation: Non-sentient
- Homeworld: Teth
- Language: No language besides screeches and roars
- Average Lifespan: 20 years
- Estimated Population: Planetary
- Description: The Cobra is a flying Sithspawn that looks like a flying armored snake or worm, except for the two sets of wings and the large claws that make up its two arms
- Breathes: Type I
- Average height of adults: 2 meters
- Average length of adults: 8 meters
- Skin color: Brown and purple
- Hair color: No hair
- Distinctions: The most distinctive physical traits of the Cobra are the two front claws it uses to hold onto prey, the two sets of wings that it uses to fly around, and the creature's tongue when it employs it. Typically, a black fog will escape from its maw, hinting at one of its capabilities.
- Races: No other races
- Strengths:
- Its two sets of wings allow the Cobra to fly extremely fast and give it quite a good bit of maneuverability, and it can use the length of its body like a rudder to shift directions
- Its front claws, and more specifically the spikes on them, exude a powerful adhesive that it can use to ensnare prey or enemies from escaping its grasp
- Its tongue has been extensively modified to act much like a Gungan's tongue does, being able to shoot out twice the length of its body to ensnare victims that too far away for it to grab. The tongue itself is quite powerful and once it gets hold of something, it will start to drain bio-electricity from the target or fluids if the small spikes on it pierce skin
- An additional ability the Cobra has it can emit a thick cloying black fog when that can blind enemies or prey until they are able to escape the cloud
- Weaknesses:
- The Cobra has no actual armor, despite its appearance, so it can be killed quite easily by a blaster bolt, slugthrower round, lightsaber, etc.
- The Cobra is not really designed for combat, its front claws, while looking threatening, aren't able to do much more than hold onto someone or something
- Its tongue can be used against it, and if it is cut off at any point, the Cobra will die immediately
- The Cobra's fog attack can be blown away easily by a breeze, and anyone outfitted with infrared or other visions modes can see through it
- Diet: Doesn't eat normal foods per se, but it uses its tongue to drain victims of fluids and bio-electricity for nourishment
- Communication: Screeches and roars
- Technology level: No technology level
- Religion/Beliefs: No religion or belief system
- General behavior: Unlike other Sithspawn developed by Eldaah and her Master, the Cobra is more cowardly, preferring to stay out on the edges of a fight to support other Sithspawn strains with its fog attack. It will actively hunt down injured enemies, using their tongue and claws to grab hold of them and drain them of bio-electricity and fluids, but it will avoid any enemy it perceives as being an actual threat to its health.
With the majority of their frontline monsters done, Eldaah and her Master began focusing on strains of Sithspawn that can be useful in more support roles for both Sithspawn and Sith forces as they moved into a war footing against the Jedi. In this case, using Teth Hunting Flies as a base creature, they began developing the Cobra out of a facility on Teth.
The Cobra is designed most definitely not to directly engage enemies, considering its lack of actual offensive capabilities or defenses. Instead, the Cobra was designed to be fast and to lurk on the edges of a battle to pick off stragglers, the injured, or to provide cover for its allies. With two sets of wings, the Cobra is extremely fast and can maneuver through the air quite easily using the long length of its body as a rudder. When it does come across prey that is close by, it will swoop down and try and grab it within its claws, claws that exude a powerful adhesive that is extremely difficult to escape from. For when it has prey like this, or when it can only reach an enemy from a distance, the Cobra will shoot out its long tongue to wrap around someone or something and begin the insidious process of draining their fluids and bio-electricity from their body.
The other ability Eldaah's Master granted the Cobra was its ability to exude a cloying black fog that can blind enemies and prey until they are able to escape the cloud or until they do something to remove the cloud, such as a breeze. However, the Cobra does have several weaknesses. It has no actual armor, so it can be killed quite easily by a blaster bolt, slugthrower round, lightsaber, etc. Its front claws aren't strong enough to actually be used for combat, only designed to grab hold of something. If its tongue is cut at any point along its length, the Cobra will die immediately.
