**Rattlesnake** is a tier 9 Desert animal in Mope.io and is the equivalent of the Cheetah, Gorilla, Toucan, Pufferfish, and Snow Leopard. It was introduced in the Desert Update on April 27, 2019.

## Technical

* Upgrades from the Camel, Cobra, Giraffe, Stingray, Snowy Owl or Walrus at 40K XP.
* Upgrades to the Gobi Bear, Hyena, Bear, Tiger, Swordfish, Pelican or Wolf at 60K XP.
* The Rattlesnake can consume almost all food sources in the game. It cannot consume: conches, clams, cacti, whole aloevera, cactus pears, and large meat.
* Prey of the Rattlesnake includes all animals within the range of tier 9 to tier 4 (Camel to Gazelle).
* Predators of the Rattlesnake includes all animals within the range of tier 10 to tier 17 (Hyena to King Dragon).
* The Special Ability of the Rattlesnake is "Rattle". When holding `W`, the Rattlesnake will rattle its tail and create continuous soundwaves that stuns stuns predators and prey of the Rattlesnake. The ability's effect gets smaller as the waves hit other animals.
* The Passive Abilities of the Rattlesnake are poisonous bite and immunity, climbing on trees, and faster movement in quicksand.
* It can hide in all Hiding Spots other than small hiding holes.

## Appearance

### Gold Trim

The Gold Trim Rattlesnake has the same appearance as the normal Rattlesnake, with the exception of having its diamonds, rattle, lighter part of the head, teeth, and eye outline have a golden color.

### Gummy Viper

The Gummy Viper is the 2020 Halloween skin of the Rattlesnake. It has a long body that has multiple different colors, including a red head, yellow, green and blue body, giving it the appearance of a gummy worm lolly.

### Classic Skin

It has a body made out of all kinds of brown colours and has parallelograms all over it. The snake is shaped as a tulband, just like the other snakes. The tail is comparable to a small brown beehive. The Rattlesnake's tongue also flicks in and out randomly. When using its ability, the Rattlesnake will bare its eyes, and rattle its tail and make itself look slightly smaller.

## Strategy

* The player's best bet of leveling up is to farm food sources in the Desert.
	+ Rattlesnakes are fast on quicksand, so the player will be able to level up fast by eating whole melons in quicksand patches and oases.
	+ Watermelon slices, found near lava pools, are also valuable in XP. They can be created by shooting water pods into a whole watermelon.
	+ The only other food sources in the Desert that are available are mangoes and cactus pears, neither of which are worth much. The player can leave the Desert and search for food in the Land biome if they are dissatisfied with the Desert environment.
* Another way to level up, albeit harder than farming, is to chase and eventually kill prey for their XP.
	+ Certain Desert prey of the Rattlesnake cannot move fast in quicksand; namely the Gazelle, Fennec Fox and Warthog. If the player sees either of these animals in quicksand, they should take the opportunity and kill the prey with ease.
	+ The Camel provides the most XP out of all the Rattlesnake's prey. However, it is fast on quicksand and its "Spit" ability gives it solid defense. As such, the player will have a harder time killing Camels than other prey.
	+ If non-Desert prey is in the Desert, the player should pursue that prey and try to stop the animal from leaving the Desert. This is because it will likely lose water at a faster rate than Desert animals, and will be potentially easy XP.
* As the player is a tier 9 animal, they too will need to watch out for predators. The Rattlesnake's "Rattle" ability has little offensive use, but can be very useful to slow down a predator and give the player time to flee.
	+ If a predator is close to the player, they should quickly tap `W` twice; a small circular soundwave will be emitted from the player's tail, stunning the predator and giving the player time to run away. This method can be used on prey that is behind the player to attempt to stun and slow them down, though such a scenario is unlikely.
	+ The Gobi Bear and Hyena are a tier above Rattlesnake, and as such the player should expect a Hyena or Gobi Bear to target them. Avoid these predators by fleeing across a quicksand patch, as they are slow on quicksand. The player will also need to keep distance between these predators as their Special Abilities can be fatal if used in a close radius.
	+ Most other relevant Desert predators cannot move fast on quicksand, so the player should use this terrain to their advantage. The Komodo Dragon, Blackwidow Spider, Pterodactyl and Giant Scorpion can move fast on it though, so be wary of them.
* Generally speaking, the player should avoid leaving the Desert biome unless necessary, as the Rattlesnake is not that well suited to living anywhere other than the Desert, and possibly the Land biome.
