If placed on other objects, the oil fails and is wasted. This false snake has the minion trait. It remains in snake form for 1 minute before returning to its object state. If slain, the item returns to its original form, unharmed.
The oil can be applied to a Large object, producing an emperor cobra (Bestiary 2 245).
