The Rattler is a quadruped, armored insect-like creature that spits a stream of burning acid at prospectors before coming closer and attacking with its sharp claws.

Rattlers are not particularly dangerous on their own, but can overwhelm a player if part of a pack of monsters.

Behaviour

Similar to the Strider, when no prospectors are around the Rattler sleeps or wanders around looking for potential prey. When it notices a player, it screeches loudly, alerting nearby creatures of the player's presence, before engaging in combat.

Combat

The Rattler is capable of both melee and ranged attacks, but will prioritize keeping its distance and performing ranged attacks whenever possible. If the player approaches it, it will perform at least one melee attack, before quickly attempting to retreat. Sometimes it will choose to approach the player to perform a melee attack, before retreating again to spitting distance.

Once the Rattler commits to a ranged attack, it cannot move or change where it's aiming, leaving it vulnerable to attacks.

Both of the Rattler's attacks are heavily telegraphed and easy to avoid. Both the spit beam and the melee attack can simply be sidestepped.

Loot

Killing a Rattler has the chance to drop some Loot. Killing a Rattler during the Storm increases the drop chances for some items.

Rattler Loot
Item	Chance	Chance (storm)	Amount	Amount (storm)
Rattler Skin	100%	100%	1	1
Rattler Skin (2nd)	15%	19%	1	1
Rattler Eyes	25%	30%	1	1
Rattler Head	1%	1%	1	1

Mature Rattler Loot
Item	Chance	Chance (storm)	Amount	Amount (storm)
Rattler Skin	100%	100%	1	1
Rattler Skin (2nd)	15%	20%	1	1
Mature Rattler Eyes	15%	20%	1	1
Mature Rattler Head	1%	1%	1	1

Rattler Variants

The Rattler has one variant, the Mature Rattler

Mature Rattler

The Mature Rattler is a white version of the Rattler with black and brown legs and increased stats. It has 250Hit Points, 29Armor and its attacks have 10Penetration. Instead of Rattler Eyes and a Rattler Head Mature Rattlers can drop Mature Rattler Eyes and a Mature Rattler Head.
