Beak Things, also known as Gutters, are one of the most dangerous creatures in the world. They are found in Vain, the Leviathan Coast, The Crater, and Gut. They can also roam into the North-West Cannibal Plains from the Leviathan Coast at times. Their nests can have between 1 and 20 Beak Thing Eggs. These creatures are extremely fast, hit hard and eat their prey alive. Elders are much stronger than the average Beak Thing, and also immensely fast.

Dealing with Beak Things

One strategy to kill these creatures is by having one tank/attacker taking the hits, while other members shoot at it with crossbows. If the group lacks ranged weapons, it is wise to surround the Beak Thing in order to avoid its multiple enemy attack.

The only attack Beak Things have is by swinging their head downwards. It takes a couple of seconds for their attack to strike someone due to their long attack animation, so if they can move away (NOT sideways, they can turn) from the Beak Thing, they will avoid the attack unharmed. Also, the attack can be blocked if the block is made for upwards attacks.

Weapons which inflict extra damage are any weapon with damage bonus against animals, such as polearms. The heavy sword Falling Sun has a 50% damage bonus for the Beak Things.

Trivia

• In older versions, Beak Things could grow larger than mountains due to a misplaced decimal, and had a crest-like membrane behind their heads. They could also speak.
