Doku-chan is a Milk Snake with weak paralytic venom. He is the pet of Miia's Mother, and is obedient enough to bite whoever his mistress wants him to.[1]
Trivia[]
- "Doku" is Japanese for "poison".
- Even though he is mildly venomous, his species isn't venomous in real life.
- Although milk snakes are harmless, they have a colouring similar to that of the venomous coral snake to protect them from predators. However, there is an easy way to tell the two species of snake apart: Coral snakes have red bands bordered by yellow; milk snakes have red bands bordered by black (as seen by Doku-chan). It might be easier to remember this rhythm: Red to yellow, kill a fellow; Red to black, friend of Jack.
