A small reptile with a tell-tale rattle and vicious bite that leads to a quick death.

This creature can be quite dangerous to a dwarf. It can easily kill a child. It is usually wary of dwarves and keeps its distance. Marksdwarves are ideal to deal with them because they can keep their distance. While a rattlesnake's uses are pretty limited, the idea of disposing of goblin prisoners via rattlesnake pits does sound quite tempting (if only to watch them slowly succumb to poison).

Its venom causes pain, nausea, blisters, swelling, and bruising in the short term. In the slightly longer term it causes severe localized necrosis.

Admired for its warning rattle.
