Overview |
When first born, Ekans lack any poison whatsoever, so being bit by very young Ekans is unlikely to be too dangerous (apart from the pain of the bites themselves). As Ekans develop, their bodies elongate and they begin to develop poison glands. Ekans use their poison more as a defense as opposed to an offense. They mainly prey on the defenseless eggs of Pidgey and Spearow. Using their tongues to sense their surroundings, Ekans are able to locate nests of eggs with ease. They can unhinge their jaws and swallow eggs whole, though unlucky Ekans may end up immobile from the sheer weight of those eggs until digestion (or even fainted if attempting huge eggs). Hiding in tall grass, Ekans avoid predators and warn those who approach with a rattling sound from their tails. Should the sound fail, they will attempt to paralyze attackers with Glare, and as a last resort bite opponents to poison them. Ekans often coil around tree branches to rest if they are available, but are also content to curl up into spirals so their heads can easily attack potential predators when threatened.
