The kamadan is a feline-like predator. It is a fierce predator and highly territorial, hunting just about anything that spends too much time in its territory. The kamadan has a hunting range of about 5 or more square miles. It makes its lair under rocky outcroppings or within caves.

The kamadan has coarse, yellowish brown fur and a leopard-like body and head. It is about 9 feet long and weighs about 600 pounds.

The kamadan opens combat using its breath weapon. It attacks those that resisted using its claws and bite. Each snake also bites an opponent.
