Ost…, a venomous serpent and likely the Gorean version of an asp, the ost is a tiny brilliant orange reptile that is about a foot in length. Its bite proves excruciatingly fatal in just seconds. There exists a banded variety, orange with black bands.

“Death by ost venom is among the most hideous of deaths.”
Captive of Gor, page 357
“I was scarcely aware of the brief whimpering of the Paravaci as, twisting and turning on the rug, biting at it, holding his arm, his flesh turning orange from ost venom, he writhed and died.
Kamchak walked to him and tore away the mask. I saw the contorted, now-orange, twisted, agonized face. Already it was like colored paper and peeling, as though lit and burned from the inside. There were drops of blood and sweat on it.”
Nomads of Gor, page 318
“The small man held up a tiny packet. “This,” he said, “is the poison, a powder prepared from the venom of the Ost.”
Captive of Gor, page 357
“They are poison teeth,” remarked Harold, “a Turian affectation but quite deadly, being filled with the venom of the Ost.”
