karait

n. (alternative spelling of krait English)

Usage examples of "karait".

If Rikki-tikki had only known, he was doing a much more dangerous thing than fighting Nag, for Karait is so small, and can turn so quickly, that unless Rikki bit him close to the back of the head, he would get the return-stroke in his eye or lip.

That bite paralysed Karait, and Rikki-tikki was just going to eat him up from the tail, after the custom of his family at dinner, when he remembered that a full meal makes a slow mongoose, and if he wanted all his strength and quickness ready, he must keep himself thin.

Go in quietly, and remember that the big man who killed Karait is the first one to bite.

I have seen other brothers pass through places where the deadly little karait is supposed to watch and wait and turn red-eyed.
