— Blotted Viper, before battle against Alfyn.
Blotted Viper is an enemy in Octopath Traveler. As the first boss fought in Alfyn's tale, it is a large poisonous snake which resides in the Cave of Rhiyo, a small, serpent-infested cave east of Clearbrook.

(I don't think this is where I should be going at the moment...) The following section contains potential story spoilers! |
During the events of Octopath Traveler, Nina and Lily went to the cave to pick waterblooms for Zeph. While they were there, Nina was bitten and poisoned by a Blotted Viper. Zeph could make the antidote for the poison but he required Alfyn to obtain a sample of the venom to do so. It is unknown whether the Blotted Viper fought by Alfyn is the same snake as the one which attacked Nina.
