Bravery is one of Rikki-tikki-tavi's defining characteristics, and he displays great courage at many points throughout the story. He takes very seriously his role as protector and defender of Teddy and his family, and Rikki-tikki doesn't hold back on confronting any threatening snakes, no matter how poisonous they are. Nag and Nagaina are two fearsome cobras; they regard the family's garden as belonging to them as they were there before the bungalow was built. Not surprisingly, they aren't too happy to see human beings and a mongoose occupying their territory. But Rikki-tikki doesn't back down and confronts the dangerous cobras, killing Nagainia after Teddy's father shoots Nag.
In an even greater act of bravery, he also challenges Karait, a small, venomous sand snake even more deadly than a cobra. In fact, he even kills the snake, saving Teddy from certain death in the process.
