    Destroy target creature. If that creature had a +1/+1 counter on it, create a 1/1 green Snake creature token.

    Rite of the Serpent won’t create more than one Snake token, even if the target creature had more than one +1/+1 counter on it.

    If Rite of the Serpent resolves but the creature isn’t destroyed (perhaps because it has indestructible or it regenerated), you’ll get a Snake token if the creature has a +1/+1 counter on it.

    You get the Snake token no matter who controlled the target creature.
