Level 1 Wildlife · Red Gulch Creek
In Desperados Destiny, Timber Rattlesnake is a level 1 wildlife — an early-game threat, reachable in your first sessions.
Field notes
A rattlesnake sunning itself on a flat rock beside the creek. Easily startled, hard to avoid.
What you are walking into
Timber Rattlesnake is level 1, carries 25 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it an early-game threat, reachable in your first sessions. It has no trick to it beyond persistence, so the fight comes down to your draws and your gear. 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 Timber Rattlesnake plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Timber Rattlesnake
Timber Rattlesnake is encountered at Red Gulch Creek. 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 Red Gulch Creek covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 18 experience and between $1 and $1. 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.
