Nile ophidian (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asp

(Other definitions for asp that I've seen before include "Predatory fish" , "the snake in Cleopatra''s bosom" , "It proved deadly for Cleopatra" , "Snake of the Nile" , "This Egyptian killer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
