Twinjaw Rattler, mutated in the Mojave Wasteland .
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.[ 1]
Rattlesnakes were likely among the snakes worshipped by Vipers .[ 2] The Arroyo tribe was familiar with rattlesnakes, considered to exemplify meanness.[ 3]
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 .[ 4]
Notes [ ]
Showdown in Skull Canyon is the first time a rattlesnake, albeit mutated and with two heads, officially appears in any Fallout title.
Rattletail , a former town in Baja is likely named after the Rattlesnake's tail.
