What's This Snake Called Again?

So lately I've been trying to remember the name of a really awesome snake I found in an article once. But it's not working. All I remember is that it was a close relative of indigo snakes, and it had an exotic-sounding name that started with an M. Muramasa? Massasara? Something like that. And I remember something about it made it unusually badass, but I can't remember exactly what that was.

Thanks in advance!

Neither of those are remotely related to indigo snakes :/

Its hard to say without any details. Anything on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colubrid look familiar?

Black Tailed Cribo (D. melenurus)?

Reptiles magazine recently did an article on black kingsnakes which do resemble the snake in question. If they are related I have no idea. Just my 2 cents. Hope i helped

Mussurana

Huh, they eat other snakes. THOSE are some alarming google images!

YES Mussurana! That was it, thank you very much!
