This snake has a large triangular head, its body has red, brown, black, gray or light pink bands. Adults can grow to 1m. It is notable for having the longest fangs of any snake in Australia.

Oddly enough, the death cobra does not actively seek prey like other poisonous snakes. They often lie in an ambush site for days waiting for their prey to arrive. To lure the prey, the venomous snake uses the end of its tail to move . Animals such as frogs, lizards, birds, and small mammals who thought they had eaten will approach them, immediately being attacked by snakes and injecting poison into them. The snake's neurotoxin quickly killed the prey. People bitten by this snake can die after only 6 hours if not treated promptly.

Death snakes often wait for their prey to die before eating them by ingesting them.

The long wait to lure the prey to form the extremely fast reflexes of the dead cobra so as not to miss the opportunity to recharge. They are considered the fastest snakes of all snakes in Australia.
