Kaa (
Hindi: का) the
Indian Python is a fictional character in the
Mowgli stories of
Rudyard Kipling. First introduced in the story "Kaa's Hunting" in
The Jungle Book, Kaa is a huge and powerful snake, more than a hundred years old and still in his prime.
Bagheera and
Baloo enlist Kaa's help to rescue Mowgli when the man-cub is captured by the
Bandar-log (
monkeys) and taken to an abandoned
human city. Kaa breaks down the wall of the building in which Mowgli is imprisoned and uses his serpentine
hypnosis to draw the monkeys toward his waiting jaws. Bagheera and Baloo are also hypnotized, but Mowgli is immune because he is human, and breaks the spell on his friends.
