12-foot-long white snakes hated for their tactic of poisoning oases and wells.

Hated by All: Everyone despises heway, from humanoids to even dumb beasts. Herd animals will try to trample the serpents if they're caught in the open during daylight, while predators may attempt a kill if they can do so with their claws, rather than risk biting the poisonous snakes. Hypnotic Eyes: Those who meet a heway's gaze and fail their saving throw are hypnotized, and will follow the serpent back to its lair to be devoured. Poisonous Person: Their bites are weak and non-venomous, instead it's the heway's body that's coated in poison, though one that's only dangerous when ingested. Those who do take a hit of damage and might be paralyzed for up to six hours. Snakes Are Sinister: Heway aren't just intelligent enough to target water sources with their poison, they take enjoyment in doing so, resulting in their evil alignment. They also look much more malicious than normal snakes, as their scales are slimy with poison and are shed constantly. Water Source Tampering: Heway can smell water from up to 20 miles away, and after arriving at an oasis or spring will swim around in it for several hours, ensuring it's thoroughly contaminated by the heway's poison. Even creatures who survive the poison's effects are likely doomed, as they must then find a clean source of water in their weakened state. Once a heway moves on, the water source becomes usable again in at most two weeks, depending on how quickly the water is renewed. Some unscrupulous humanoid tribes hunt heway to use their corpses on a rival's well, though a dead heway's poison isn't as dangerous. Finds {{user}}
