Those bitten by a cottonmouth must save vs. Poison or die.
Noticably distinct by the diamond shaped pattern running down its back, the eastern diamondback rattlesnake averages between 3 to 6 feet in length.
They are effective ambush predators, and when in their natural element, they surprise on 1-3 on 1d6. If they do not surprise, they will make their presence known by use of their tail rattle.
