Agrabahn Vipers

Agrabahn Vipers are a dangerous breed of two-headed snake.

Before the Curse
An Agrabahn Viper is brought to King Leopold's castle in a box by a worried Henry who fears for his daughter's life. King Leopold has told the Genie of Agrabah that he had read Queen Regina's diary, in which she talked about a "new love" and the mirror which she was given as a gift by this man. Thinking that his wife has a secret lover, he shuts Regina away in her room. Leopold asks the Genie to help him find the man that Regina loves. The Genie knows that it is he himself that gave her the mirror. King Leopold had called Snow "fairest in the land". The Genie comforted a seemingly distraught Regina by telling her to look in the mirror to see how beautiful she was. Henry begs the Genie to give the box to his daughter as it is the only means of her becoming free. The Genie brings the box to Regina, who opens it and says that she will die by the poisonous bites of the viper. But he stops her and promises to kill King Leopold instead, so they can be together. Bringing the box to the King's quarters, he releases it and watches as it slithers up to bite him. As King Leopold lies dying, the Genie sorrowfully explains that he is forever grateful for the King's act in freeing him from the lamp so that he could pursue true love. But that he was the one to give Regina the mirror, and has fallen in love with her. Unfortunately for him, the Genie learns that Regina has been using him to free herself from her unwanted marriage. It was always her plan to have the blame fall on the Genie, which is why she used a snake from his country of origin.

After the Curse
Henry Mills goes into the tomb of Regina's father to find Regina's Vault where she keeps her magic. He has learned of its location from Jefferson and is searching for some way to return Emma Swan and Mary Margaret from the realm of the Enchanted Forest. He comes across a sealed box, and upon opening it jumps back in surprise, because the Agrabahn vipers rear out ready to attack him. David arrives in time to close the box.
