This article is about the guard from Sly 2: Band of Thieves. For the guard from Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, see Cobra (Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time).
Cobras were minor enemies that the Cooper Gang encountered around Rajan's palace and spice temple in India. They are greenish, red-eyed cobras that hide in little patches of leaves or jars placed around the hub of Rajan's palace and the Indian jungle. When anyone gets near either of them, a cobra will emerge and attempt to deliver a painful bite. It will first rear back before biting, which leaves it vulnerable to attack. If ignored, it can alert nearby guards. Only one hit is needed to kill it.
