A Mongoose is a predator of snakes. Riki Tiki Tavi is both a mongoose and a spell of iconomancy that turns one into a mongoose.
Background[]
Mongooses are kept as pets by some because of their docile natures, except when it comes to rats and poisonous snakes. They are the natural prey of mongooses, and they will attack and kill these creatures whenever they come across them. So it is for this reason that they are kept and treasured in domains much afflicted by the creatures.[1]
