Powers and abilities[]

Vipers are capable of breathing fire and have prehensile tails they can use to strike their foes or grab things. Although they are one of the weaker Metarex, Vipers also have a good degree of strength. For example, one of them was able to free itself after being buried under a large pile of rocks. Vipers are also durable enough to withstand being electrocuted without major damage. Vipers also have good agility and amazing reflexes; one of them was able to dodge a Spin Attack from Sonic by jumping over him.
