Elder Beak Thing

Elder Beak Things are, due to their age, much larger, stronger, and faster Beak Things. They are fairly rare, and only found in the Bonefields and High Bonefields.
Caution is advised when approaching, as it is nearly impossible to escape from one using speed alone. One should use their large size against them and escape by baiting the Elder into attacking then running behind objects to hide from sight. Their attack speed is faster, allowing them to potentially hit a fleeing target more often than younger Beak Things. Their running speed can outpace even a high-level Athletics character with Masterwork Scout Legs, however due to their slow attack animation they usually cannot hit said character.
Elder Beak Things' attack radius is bigger than what you might expect as animals weapon reach is increased with age. It makes them capable of hitting large groups of characters if they're too close to each other. Combined with their age-boosted stats, this makes them a terrifyingly powerful enemy.
