Diamondback is a period-11 oscillator found by Nico Brown in a symmetric CatForce search and monomerised on November 8, 2022.[1] In terms of its 33 cells, it is currently tied for the smallest known period 11 oscillator with rattlesnake. Its name comes from its similarity to rattlesnake, which was named for having 11 letters and a snake motif; a diamondback is another type of snake (despite the lack of a snake in the oscillator), and diamondback also has 11 letters. In addition, both diamondback and rattlesnake are mostly stator with a small active area. Unlike rattlesnake, diamondback doesn't give off sparks. However, it can perform the same reaction as a singular killer toad at p11, such as converting an octomino II to a glider.
