Rattlesnake

Rattlesnakes are venomous snakes endemic to the Americas. The American Southwest was home to the majority of their species. Rattlesnakes survived the Great War and were common enough that the sound of their tell-talle rattle was uniquitous during wasteland travels.MAPS.TXT uses rattle and rattle1 sound effects in every random encounter map. 
Rattlesnakes were likely among the snakes worshipped by Vipers.Killian Darkwater: "{250}{Kill72}{The Vipers are a crazy bunch from up north. They worship snakes, or something.}" The Arroyo tribe was familiar with rattlesnakes, considered to exemplify meanness.Wright daughter: "{163}{}{You see one of Wright's daughters. She looks meaner than a rattler.}

Rattlesnake DNA was also used at Big MT to create night stalkers. The "children" of Z-9 Crotalus DNA preservation lab would be a persistent pest in regions surrounding the research facility, such as the Mojave.Fallout: New Vegas loading screens: "Nightstalkers are fearsome nocturnal predators created by splicing together coyote and rattlesnake DNA."
