*Regular messages:
*:<name> slithers, strikes, and sinks its fangs into him/her/it, dealing X damage and injecting him/her/it with nasty, nasty poison.
*After combat:
*:<name> unhinges its jaw and gapes at you. It kind of looks like a giant smile -- an incredibly terrifying smile, but a smile nonetheless.
*Enthroned in the [[Crown of Thrones]]:
*:<name> treats it to a snakebite. No, not the kind with whiskey and lemon juice, the kind with snake fangs and poison and (15-25 Poison) damage.
*Bjornified in the [[Buddy Bjorn]]:
*:As your opponent gets near, <name> springs out of the Buddy Bjorn like a spring-loaded peanut brittle can and bites <he>{{sic}} on the face for 18 damage.
*With [[lucky Tam O'Shanter]] equipped:
*:<name> lazily winks one soulless, reptilian eye from beneath the Tam O'Shanter.
*With [[miniature gravy-covered maypole]] equipped:
*:<name> does a sidewinding dance around the maypole.
*With [[wax lips]] equipped:
*:<name> unhinges its jaw and pokes its fangs through the wax lips.

==Arena Message==
*''When entered in Hide and Seek'':
*:<name> is a rattlesnake, not a stealthsnake.

==Notes==
*The multiplier for the stat gains is equal to '''1.30 –(0.15*([[Moons#Grimacite Equipment|grimace darkness]]))'''.
*After being attacked by the Baby Mutant Rattlesnake, an enemy will become poisoned and the following message will be displayed in subsequent combat rounds:
*:Your opponent writhes as <it> takes X damage from the poison.
**X is initially 80% of the original damage dealt by the attack, rounded down, and is decreased by 1/2 (rounded down) until it no longer deals damage.

==References==
*The first line of the familiar's haiku is a reference to the popular "[[wikipedia:Badger Badger Badger|Badger Badger Badger]]" flash cartoon.
