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.
