'''Rattlesnake''' is a female [[SandWings|SandWing]] mentioned in ''[[Moon Rising]]''. She, along with [[Sirocco]], are [[Qibli|Qibli's]] siblings, their mother being [[Cobra]]. They used to bully, tease, and torture Qibli before Thorn rescued him from his family. Qibli is still haunted by their unkind words and sometimes thinks or dreams about Rattlesnake and Sirocco bullying and stealing from him. It is evident that Rattlesnake does not intend to do good with her life, which gives way to the belief of her being a novice criminal. This has not been confirmed, however.


In [[Moonwatcher]]'s vision, they were described to be huge, bulky [[dragons]], wearing a medallion with a type of bird etched on it. This was later guessed by Qibli to be a vulture because of their association with the [[The Talons of Power|Talons of Power]]. In ''Moon Rising, ''Rattlesnake and Sirocco are hinted at working for someone, perhaps [[Onyx]]. At the end of ''Talons of Power'', there were dragons wearing hoods and bird medallions fleeing the scenes of explosions caused by many [[Dragonflame Cactus]]es in Queen Thorn's kingdom. It has been confirmed that Rattlesnake is working for [[Vulture]] and the Talons of Power were the cause of the explosions.
