Rattlesnake
Template:SpoilerDoD
Template:Charbox
Rattlesnake is a female SandWing mentioned in Moon Rising. She, along with Sirocco, are Qibli's siblings, their mother being Cobra. They used to bully, tease, and torture Qibli before he went to join Thorn and the Outclaws. Qibli sometimes thinks or dreams about Rattlesnake and Sirocco doing mean things to him. It's evident that Rattlesnake was not off to a good start, which gives way to the belief of her being a criminal. It has not been confirmed, though.
In Moonwatcher's vision, they were described to be huge, bulky dragons, wearing a medallion with a type of bird etched on it. Rattlesnake and Sirocco seem to be working for someone, perhaps Onyx. At the end of Talons of Power, there were dragons wearing hoods and bird medallions wreaking havoc on Queen Thorn's oasis. It had been confirmed that Rattlesnake is working for Vulture and the Talons of Power who were the ones who did that.
Biography
Moonwatcher has a vision about Qibli fighting Rattlesnake and Sirocco, with Vulture glowering at him as well. Qibli was shouting "Where is she?" at the sneering faces of his siblings. He was referring to Ostrich.
Qibli comments to Winter that if his brother was trapped in a SkyWing prison he wouldn't try to save him, as per the other way around. He then says that it would be better for a dragon like that to be locked up, so they can no longer do harm to others. It is, however, unconfirmed which sibling, but his only brother is Sirocco so it is likely that it was him.
Onyx may have been trying to talk to Sirocco and Rattlesnake, planning to overthrow Queen Thorn.
A group of dragons, most likely including Rattlesnake and Sirocco, terrified the SandWing tribe by setting off dragonflame cacti.
