Chicken Yodeling. A clucking yodel EDM hybrid.", retrieved April 12th, 2022.

==Origins==
 Man of Nature, whose real name was Takeo Ischi, was born in Tokyo, Japan.Hannah Cleaver (4/24/2009) - Takeo Ishii (Yodel singer), Singing voice echoing in the Alps (Newsweek.jp), retrieved September 27th, 2022. In his high school years, he was a loner, but hearing yodeling on the radio was his first time getting into the median.(3/2/2006) - German Japanese Yodelling (archive.today), retrieved September 27th, 2022.
Following his father's footsteps, he went to a university and studied mechanical engineering. In his spare time, he would learn how to play the Zither and Hammered dulcimer.
Using various records created by Franzl Lang, he first taught himself to yodel, and started performing on Japanese television. During his six month period when studying abroad in Germany, he went to Switzerland to sing at a beer hall in Zurich. Afterwards, he would earn money from his career and would eventually sing with his idol, Franzl Lang.
At one point, he would make a collaboration with The Gregory Brothers, with his single, "Chicken Attack", released on the 25th of January, 2016, receiving over 27 million views on YouTube.schmoyoho - Chicken Attack // Song Voyage // Japan // ft.

==Overview==
Man of Nature is exactly the same as his original appearance as he is a medium orange skin male with white hair with a bun on top and a squinting expression (Which he uses the Not sure if... face). He wears a long-sleeve polo shirt, brown shorts, and black shoes. Within the Christmas update, he was given a Santa Clause outfit.
==Lore==
No lore for the character exists as far as the Item Asylum canon is concerned because Xerroz believes the boss as a whole is in need of work.
==Abilities==

At the start of the match, Takeo is invulnerable to any attack until a set amount of his minions has been defeated

===Phase 2===

=== (Removed abilities) ===
These are the abilities Takeo had before being revamped in the V1.4.0 halloween update.
Energy shield - An energy shield will enclose the boss at the start of the match until players kill enough of his minions successfully. Once destroyed, he will enter his second phase and will fight directly against the players.

Roundhouse kick - Takeo will preform a roundhouse kick if a player gets too close to his field of vision. Getting hit deals 25 damage to the player
The man - At times, Takeo will throw a man at a player, if hit, the player will be dealt with 15 damage.
== Strategy ==
The bossfight starts off with killing a certain amount of enemies, who of them being Rats and Pigs which is something you should worry about as they have abilities to screw over the player such at Rat's ability to dodge within close quarters. Circle-strafing and turning is a MUST for dodging the Rats as well as the Pigs' rock throwing attacks. Be wary, as turning too fast will allow them to attack you.
Once the wave of enemies have been defeated, the boss will fight whilst his minions will begin to spawn back once again, making the bossfight progressively harder. Chickens, Pigs, and Rats will constantly spawn until the main boss, Takeo Ischi, is defeated. Circle-strafing is also helpful with Takeo. 
==Perfect Run Strategy==
Man Of Nature's solo difficulty depends very much on which melee and miscellaneous you get. As it can either be a pretty quick win or absolutely impossible. Winning the round with The Perfect Run on awards you with the achievement nature wrangler, as well as the item, deployable chicken
* Hope for a good melee and a good miscellaneous.
**The eyelander is the best weapon for this boss due to it outranging the Chickens and Rats. It also gives buffs to the player after getting 4 kills.
*** Weapons with high DPS or are long enough to outrange the boss are useful as well. The comically large weapons excel at this, as well as night reaper, uncertified tenderizer, fish, masamune, buster sword, built different, banhammer, and solemn lament.
****the dang is also a decent weapon due to the charges being able to harm nearby enemies and the Embrace Ability. However, it's risky to get charges due to the Rats sneaking up behind you.
****the small sword can also be good because of its damage and upgrade afterwards since it gives 200 HP, 25% defense and one-shots plus outranges all minions besides Pigs which are a 2 tap, be aware of the slow down however.
**sunshine in a bag, skeleton juice and cassiebucks coffee are effective misc items due to their speed increase allowing the player to outrun the Rats and preventing Chickens and Pigs from getting a hit in. 10 hour burst is also effective, but you run the risk of a lowered defense.
**birch tree is able to instantly kill both Chickens and Rats, and does high damage to Pigs. Its large range is also quite beneficial.
**Damage-wise, master spark is useful due to its high damage output.
***Be aware for any enemies that may come behind you while you're attacking with it though.
****If you get lucky with arrow, you can get extra heath for survivability and you get a stand.
****wish vest can get you more health if you're really lucky.
*Against Chickens and Rats.
**As stated earlier, Circle-Strafing and/or gaining a speed buff can prevent them from hitting you.
*Against Pigs.
**Pigs may seem scary with their stomp ability. However, when they do, they have a short backswing that prevents them from moving and attacking. Use this backswing as an advantage to strike and possibly kill a Pig. As for their ranged attack, once they've thrown a rock, go to the opposite direction from where the the block is heading.
*Against Takeo Ischi and his forces.
**As stated earlier, Circle-Strafing and/or gaining a speed buff can prevent them from hitting you. However he's much riskier to strike as unlike the Chickens, he slows you when he gets hit by him which can sometimes be the difference between life and death. He's also backed up with the other 3 enemies. So be careful and good luck.
*If you get emperor from the arrow or garcia's shotgun from the cross pendant, they will be really helpful due to their ranged capabilities.
==Trivia==
* Man of Nature is the only boss with two humanoid names, when he kills you he will appear as "Man of Nature", and when you kill him he will appear as "Takeo".
*Unlike other bosses, Man of Nature is one of the few bosses that doesn't have knockback immunity.
**This trait is also shared with trashgang.
