Snakes are elongated, legless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. They appear in various stories from the Universe of Metro 2033 and in Metro Exodus, as well as its Sam's Story DLC.
Overview
Not much unlike dogs, deer, and frogs, snakes seem to have survived World War III with few noticeable mutations. This could be due to the fact they always preferred rural areas and regions not as densely populated by humans as larger towns and cities, which were more often targeted using biochemical warfare. However, unlike those other creatures, some species of snakes in the world of Metro 2033 have developed several leg-like appendages as well as other features.
From a gameplay standpoint, large dark-coloured snakes with what appear to pincers on their tails can attack and poison Artyom on the Caspian Sea level of the game Metro Exodus. In the Sam's Story DLC, Sam explores the flooded and extremely humid ruins of Vladivostok; there he encounters smaller green-coloured snakes that often lay in wait for prey among carcasses of fallen humans. When looting these bodies, the snake then attacks Sam by trying to bite into his arm.
