'''Doom Vipers''' are six-headed serpentine [[Rahi]].

== History ==
[[Makuta]] [[Chirox]] created the Doom Viper species using [[Virus]]es and [[Protodermis#Liquid Protodermis|Liquid Protodermis]] to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the [[Matoran Universe]].{{BookCitation|BL9|10|chapternumber=1}}{{BookCitation|MGttU|63|entryname=The Makuta}}

The [[Matoran]] of [[Metru Nui]] first discovered the Doom Vipers on a cargo ship docked in the [[Ga-Metru]] harbors. [[Ga-Matoran]] were surprised to discover that the crew was missing, though the cargo was still intact. Only later was it discovered that the crew had all been killed by Doom Vipers; by that time, the vipers had already begun making their way to the heart of Ga-Metru.{{BookCitation|RB|25|entryname=Doom Viper}}

When the [[Toa Nuva]] returned to Metru Nui, they had to battle six Doom Vipers. The Nuva defeated the vipers by using their [[Kakama Nuva]] to confuse the Rahi before attacking them.{{BookCitation|BL9|103|chapternumber=7}}

Doom Vipers also lived on the [[Southern Continent]] and, later, [[Voya Nui]]. [[Brutaka]] once saved [[Balta]], [[Piruk]], [[Velika]], and [[Kazi]] from one out of habit by using his [[Kanohi]] [[Olmak]] to teleport it into a particularly lethal alternate universe.{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=431|post=10897565}} When the [[Toa Mahri]] destroyed [[the Cord]] and sent Voya Nui back to its place on the Southern Continent, its Doom Vipers may have not survived the descent.{{GregCitation|CwGF|page=411|post=10805479}}

After the [[Great Spirit Robot]] was critically damaged in the [[Battle of Bara Magna]], many Doom Vipers emigrated from the Matoran Universe to [[Spherus Magna]].{{GregCitation|OGDi|page=300|post=11964|lines=5,12}}

== Abilities and Traits ==
Aside from its multiple heads, the Doom Viper is most notorious for its breath, which is a toxic compound that is capable of killing any living animal or plant life it touches (except other Doom Vipers). [[Vahki]], being machines and thus immune to the venom, were the only ones successful at capturing these Rahi. Doom Viper breath is also capable of weakening [[Visorak (Rahi)|Visorak]] webbing.{{BookCitation|RB|entryname=Doom Viper|page=25}}

== Trivia ==
* [[Tobduk]] carries a staff with an end carved in the shape of a Doom Viper's head.{{OnlineCitation|BIA|6}}
* In ''Brothers in Arms'', Doom Vipers are once referred to as "doom serpents."{{OnlineCitation|BIA|6}}
