The death-rattle is a 15 meter long, black rattlesnake that stalks the deserts and volcano bases at night. The death-rattle is quad-optic, and thus has four eyes in its head, each independently controlled. The rattle of the death-rattle can mimic any noise that it has heard, such as voices, machines, other beasts, and weather. The death-rattle constricts its victims, followed by eating them whole.
