Trivia[]

  • A few of Bad Bessie's henchmen in the mission "Rogue Valley" bear a striking resemblance to Standing Snake. However, it is unlikely that they are suppose to represent him, as the Black Elk warrior would not have lived anywhere near Brimstone.
  • He is listed in Sheriff Bartlett's Journal under the Outlaws in Twelve States section.
  • His special ability in multiplayer gets his arrows indulged in Snake Oil, similar to how his ally Grizzly gets his claws indulged with said oil.
    • According to Bartlett's Journal, the Black Elks bought some Snake oil from Prof. Perry.
