![]() He enjoys teasing and playing with his food, hypnotized or not. He displayed even more sadism towards Shanti as he did not only gloat over her helplessness, but also outright revealed to her that he intended to eat her knowing she was unable to do anything about it. His sadism is further emphasized by how he gloats over Mowgli's helpless situation before eating him. Furthermore, he is perfectly willing to kill those who get in the way of his meals, as seen when he sadistically hypnotized, and almost harmed Bagheera. However his later goal to eat the man-cub was mainly driven out of spite, swearing revenge on th boy after his first attempt to eat Mowgli ended in humiliating defeat. His first attempt to devour Mowgli was a casual and opportunistic means to eat and survive. While not inherently malevolent, Kaa is still a fairly villainous character. The two beasts are often at odds, though Shere Khan views Kaa as an "eyes and ears" of the jungle, relying on him to assist his search for Mowgli at one point in the film. Kaa holds a disliking for Khan, seeing him as a hypocrite and believing the act of killing for pleasure-as opposed to survival-to be dishonorable. Such fear, however, does not resonate with the unofficial ruler of the jungle, Shere Khan the tiger. ![]() This is evidenced when the usually composed and fearless Bagheera was visibly terrified and pleaded with him when the panther stopped him from eating Mowgli. A powerful and dangerous ability, Kaa is a feared inhabitant of the jungle. He furthers this by the use of his iconic ability to hypnotize his prey with his eyes, rendering them enchanted and under his command. He speaks with a soft, often entrancing tone to either lure his victims into a weary, dreamlike state or manipulate them into bestowing their trust, only to devour them unexpectedly. Kaa is a sly, devious Indian Rock Python. ![]()
