Coiled Strike ⟲ As Reactive Strike, but the gobmob snake can use this reaction only if it's Coiled.

Incessant Yammering (auditory, aura, linguistic) 15 feet.

A gobmob snake's heads constantly bicker and snipe at one another, annoying and distracting anyone nearby. Each non-goblin creature that begins its turn in the aura must attempt a DC 21 Will save. On a failure, it takes a –1 status penalty to Perception checks and Will saves for 1 round. On a success, it is temporarily immune for 1 minute.

Effect: Incessant Yammering

Infighting Whenever a gobmob snake critically fails at an attack roll or skill check, it must succeed at a DC 5 Flat or become Slowed 1 as its heads argue over which of them is to blame. An enemy can provoke an argument by attempting a DC 20 Deception check as a single action with the auditory, concentrate, linguistic, and mental traits.

Speed
25 feet, burrow 5 feet, swim 20 feet

Melee ◆ fangs +14 (finesse, unarmed), Damage 2d6+5 piercing

Coil ◆ The gobmob snake uses an action to coil itself, increasing its reach with its fangs from 5 to 10 feet. After the gobmob snake Strikes with its fangs, it becomes uncoiled.

Goblin Breath ◆◆ (olfactory, poison) The gobmob snake belches a cloud of nauseating vapor in a 15-foot cone. Non-goblin creatures within the cloud must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save or become Sickened 1. On a critical failure, a creature is also Slowed 1 for as long as it is sickened. Creatures that successfully save are immune for 24 hours. The gobmob snake can't use Goblin Breath again for 1d4 rounds.
