Although ornate and intricately carved with serpent imagery, this bow seems utterly mundane. It reveals its true character when a wielder notches an arrow, at which point the arrowhead assumes the character and likeness of a hissing, venomous snake. Arrows launched from this bow are always made poisonous. However, there is a chance with each use that the arrow turns and bites its wielder's hand. Vampires, and the Undead in general, are immune to such venom.
