Stretch Sidewinder
Level 13 Wildlife · Dead Man's Stretch
In Desperados Destiny, Stretch Sidewinder is a level 13 wildlife — a mid-game threat that expects a built character.
Field notes
A large sidewinder that basks on the exposed canyon floor where its lateral coils absorb maximum heat. Fast and venomous; applies Poisoned on hit.
What you are walking into
Stretch Sidewinder is level 13, carries 117 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a mid-game threat that expects a built character. It fights by attrition — damage that keeps working after the hand is played, so a long fight favours it rather than you. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Stretch Sidewinder plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Stretch Sidewinder
Stretch Sidewinder is encountered at Dead Man's Stretch. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for Dead Man's Stretch covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 156 experience and between $5 and $13. Its loot table can yield Venom Sac and Rattlesnake Skin. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
