A rasp snake is a kind '''Rasp snakes''' are creatures of large burrowing parasite that lives in the [[Rain Wilds]]that live in the canopy. Its They are a kind of burrowing parasite with a behavior is of something like a tick and something like a leech; these snakes begin by embedding their heads in the flesh of the victim, and eat their way inward. They are thin but long and very fast. They have an egg-tooth like feature on their snouts. When they attack an animal, they bite and hold on and then dig their head in to feed. There can be a great number of them feeding on one monkey and as the animal generally develops an infection, the result is often death.
Many of the dragons that emerge at [[Cassarick]] are plagued with rasp snakes as they journey toward [[Kelsingra]].
One can not use fire to get rid of them, as they only dig deeper. [[Thymara|Thymara's]] father had taught her to use whiskey instead. [[Mercor]] remembered them (or a similar but even worse species) as "burrowers". [[Category:Animals]] [[Category:Rain Wilds]]
