Zeke watched the fight unfold from a safe distance. The [Corrosive Viper] continued moving around, avoiding every break in the ground created by the [Steel Golem]. The viper then continues to using a bunch of skills which dealt some damage to the golem.
One is [Tail Blade] which turned the tail of the [Corrosive Viper] into a sharp and hard object. With this, it continued slashing at the [Steel Golem], targeting only a single spot ion order to deepen the cut which only started out as a scratch.
Zeke understood immediately that the monster is bad news. It quickly adapts to its enemy and develops a way in order to deal with the situation. This means that, the [Corrosive Viper] has a decent amount of battle sense. This does not directly translate to intelligence because, the [Corrosive Viper] fell for Zeke's trick after all.
