The Rattlesnake is a medium sized reptile found in deserts and badlands.
Appearance[]
The Rattlesnake is a sandy beige color with a purple tongue.
Behavior[]
Rattlesnakes don't usually do much, but occasionally they may hunt other animals like Jerboas. However, if the player gets too close to a Rattlesnake then it will make a rattle warning sound as well as rattle its tail. If one gets close enough to a Rattlesnake while it is rattling, the creature will become hostile and use its poisonous bite to defend itself. If a Baby Rattlesnake is provoked then it can also chase the player. Rattlesnakes are prey for Roadrunners. Rattlesnakes can be bred with any type of Meat.
Two rattlesnakes warn the player of their presence.
If a Rattlesnake is slain, it has a chance to drop a Rattlesnake Rattle. These rattles can be brewed with Komodo Dragon Spit Bottles in order to create Poisonous Essence. Brewing this essence with a Cave Centipede Leg can result in the Potion of Poison Resistance. Their rattles can also be crafted into Maracas.
