Rattlesnake

Rattlesnakes are aggressive level ~14 mobiles found in various places around Arda. They have a venomous bite. Rattlesnake venom drains HP and can be quite dangerous to a player if they don't have a way to remove poison. Their corpses can be butchered to produce a venom sac or snakeskin.

A diamond-back rattlesnake is coiled here, ready to strike.

This long tan snake seems annoyed at your presence, and it lets you know by
shaking its tail hundreds of times a minute. The sound it produces is enough to
strike fear into the most seasoned fighter. The black diamond pattern along its
back make the viper look sinister and dangerous. The most noticeable thing
about it though, are the twin fangs protruding out of its mouth. Sharp and
glistening with poison, they would not feel good in your leg.
