The smallest of these is the Elaphe, which features three-masts with lanteen sails on the mizzenmast and mainmast, with a square-rigged sail and large trapeziodal topsail on the foremast . The Elaphe's are the swiftest and most plentiful vessels in the fleet, and as such are common sights in the northeastern South Sea region as they patrol in pairs. They are heavily armed for their size, and due to their design they're capable of tangling with and harassing larger vessels.

The Cottonmouth features four-masts with lanteen sails on the mizzenmast, mainmast and jigger mast, with a square-rigged sail and large trapeziodal topsail on the foremast. The Cottonmouth's are very swift and maneuverable ships for their size, which along with their heavy armaments means they're capable of standing their ground with vessels easily twice their size in a fight. If one spots an Elaphe, there's often a Cottonmouth lurking in the area nearby to render assistance.

If a combination of Elaphe and Cottonmouth's aren't capable of dealing with a threat, the aptly named Kingsnake's venom will bring a swift death to its enemies when it brings its armaments into a fight.

What limited accounts there are note that it~~ simply ~~arrived in~~ the ~~harbour~~ of Minkdreki shortly after the newly appointed steward~~, and has taken~~ up residence ~~in mooring out in~~ the ~~waters beyond its piers~~. The ~~ship itself is massive, measuring from bow to stern~~ the ~~amount of two-hundred feet, with four masts~~ and ~~boasting three gun decks, making it on par in size with The Black Belle. However, its gun decks sit empty, desolate~~ of armaments, ~~and it never seems to have any~~ compliment ~~or crew~~ aboard, while it sails ~~and exterior seem~~ old and weathered, giving it a distinctly derelict appearance as if it simply washed into the harbour after being adrift in the seas.

	The namesake of these vessels, The Gentaknepse, or The Burnt Serpents in Common tongue, is due in part to the slender, elongated appearance of their hulls, as well as their unpainted, black and grey hued alligator skin-like texture patterns resulting from a closely guarded wood preservation and treatment process accomplished by exposure to flame and sealed with an alchemical solution. The end result makes the lumber highly waterproof, and more impressively, highly fire resistant. A similar process is utilized on their sails, giving them their distinct cloudy grey colouration, however their resistance to fire is inferior in comparison for obvious reasons.
