History

Luigi's Mansion 3

Snakes, specifically king cobras, appear as a type of pest in Luigi's Mansion 3. They appear in sandy areas in the Tomb Suites, on the Beach in the Spectral Catch, in some pots in the Mushroom Suite and in the Elevator Hall in the Garden Suites, in the Dance Hall under a table, and a portion of the Master Suite. Snakes will occasionally pop out of and burrow into the sand. Snakes attack by lunging in Luigi's direction, inflicting 10 HP of damage if they hit him, but a snake can be defeated either from being flashed by the Strobulb or, if it is stuck in the sand, being vacuumed into the Poltergust G-00. Gems also take the shape of snakes in the Tomb Suites.
