Birdman

Birdman is one of the 9 enemies encountered in chapter 1 of Blood West. Unusual for most monsters, Birdmen retain the skill to use firearms. Being agile and accurate with their revolvers, they can prove to be a fearsome foe without proper knowledge or cover. 
The note describing the Birdman can be found here.
== Appearance ==
Undead humans twisted into bird-like hybrids by an unknown evil, Birdmen are unmistakable in appearance. While retaining their human posture and physique, Birdmen notably possess two small feathery wings that have seemingly sprouted out from the shoulder blades. The head, now lacking any discernable eyes, nose, or ears, sports a bird-like beak that has sprouted out from the inside of the mouth. Birdmen appear to be created from undead sheriffs, deputies, and/or lawmen, as a service badge and holsters can be seen attached to the Birdmen's clothes. 
== Behavior ==
Like all of the Barren Land's monsters, Birdmen will patrol their surroundings for anything with a heartbeat to kill. They will sluggishly stumble around, occasionally cawing or screeching aloud. Upon spotting the player, Birdmen will give off a shrill high-pitched scream before unloading their revolvers at their quarry. If fired back upon, Birdmen will utilize their wings to dodge and reposition themselves. While not large or powerful enough for outright flight, the wings are able to propel the Birdmen in various directions and out of the way of harm. 
== Quotes ==
*"Death is no man, death is no wraith, death is a bird flying."

== Trivia ==
* It carries a Rusty Revolver as its weapon
* It can use wings to dodge sideways
* It stands still to reload after every 6 shots

== Tips ==
* Rapidly taping the strafe keys while running away significantly increases the chance they'll miss
* Ducking behind cover while one is chasing you will cause it run towards your exact location. Use this to bait it into a melee attack
