The thick skin coating also protects the dragon from external substances applied to it, such as Death Song amber. The toxic substance that the Slitherwing secretes on its skin is used to coat its entire body, which is why one touch from any part of its body could be fatal. This ability is similar to how different species of spitting cobras can spray airborne venom from their fangs. The Slitherwing has the ability to spit venom from its mouth at potential victims, serving as its firepower and adding to their overall danger. Despite the lethal effects of the venom, Slitherwing venom is also included in the antidote, along with angel fern root, and pine sap.Īccording to Dragons: Rise of Berk the poison of some individual Slitherfangs can smell sweet, as is the case with Sweet-Stripe. Due to the fact that they are coated in this poison, they are probably immune to it. It is also able to directly launch quantities of poison at its targets utilizing its tail as means of launching it. The skin-secreted poison can easily be spilled by the Slitherwing using sudden movements, tail flips, or by merely slithering on the ground. Symptoms of Slitherwing poisoning include pale discoloration, green patches on the skin, extreme fatigue, and increasing pain. Upon contact, the poison quickly enters the victim's bloodstream, causing negative reactions to the body, and can kill a human within a day if not treated with an antidote, as Fishlegs said: " You touch one and you are dead by the next moon." The venom is injected when the dragon bites. The toxic can quickly be absorbed by victims through any means of contact, although skin-to-skin transmission is the preferred method. The venom is fatal to both Viking and dragon alike (only the Grim Gnashers are immune to their poison) and is said to sedate the victim, rendering it immobile and defenseless, ready to be picked up by the Slitherwing.

Its body displays a vivid and striking coloration, serving as a visual signal and warning of its highly toxic nature, akin to various other creatures such as snakes, amphibians, fish, and insects. The Slitherwing exhibits a resemblance to a colossal serpent, characterized by its elongated, snake-like physique. The egg has a solid color as a base and many triangular spots all over it. Unlike most dragon eggs, the Slitherwing egg has a smooth surface, with no asperities on it. In Dragons: Rise of Berk, a Slitherwing egg is oval with a slightly irregular shape.
