A poisonous serpent native to Gryphon (The Beyond 1931). 1m long with a mottled reddish/brown body with yellow rosettes and a triangular head with 2 cm long fangs. It possesses a neural toxin producing numbness & paralysis. Though nonlethal to humanoids, its venom can be used as a painkiller & relaxative in medical work without processing. The Guardians of Senerity on Shrine (The Beyond 1332) have a thriving colony living around their medical center. An abstract Gobein forms part of the Dark Goddesses logo. Rumor even has Gobein aboard Dark Goddesses vessels. Whatever the truth to that rumor, what is known is that Gobein venom is the base for the Dark Goddess' Hjifed nerve toxin, used in both gaseous form and injected via tranq darts.
