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.

| Desirability
| - Whips in general are very rarely used in normal games due to their incredibly slim variety and high vulnerability to item destruction. However, for a PC specifically focused on fighting with this weapon group, whips of the snake are a credible end-game weapon. While whips of slaughtering provide a substantial increase in critical hit chance and will usually out-damage whips of the snake, the latter provide passive bonuses which can be suitable for some play styles.
In particular, whip-oriented Duelists will likely be better off with a whip of the snake to augment their high speed/high evasion combat approach. Ranged fighters/spellcasters may use whips of the snake to boost their capabilities without actually using the weapon in melee range.
