Whips of the snake are a rare type of one-handed melee weapons in ADOM. They belong to the weapon group, and trains and benefits from the corresponding weapon skill. Damage-wise they are comparable with eternium variations of most one-handed weapons but typically inferior to unique items such as swords of sharpness or maces of destruction. Whips of the snake are typically regarded as on of the two possible end-game weapons for dedicated whip fighters.
