Gloydius Agkistrodon (previously named Agkistrodon saxatilus) is a snake native to the Korean peninsula.

They have a thicker body than vipers or Bombina orientalis. The top of the head has an inverted V shape pattern and lacks the white line markings of vipers. They can be found in mountains often near streams and in forests.
