Rattle Devil/Rider

Adversary overview

A waste lander of the Horned Frontier who rides an unwilling beast.

The Rattle Devil is an apex predator of the Horned Frontier, protected by hard shell of sharp spikes and armed with large digging claws and a slit-mouth jaw of multi-set of flesh ripping teeth.

The inspiration of this deadly beast is a hybrid of the Polacanthus dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous period, the thorny devil from Australia, and the rattle snake from the Americas.
