Kator

"Away from my feast, foul beast!"

- Wigfrid The Kator is an aggressive predator found from Suspicious Dirt Piles. While he can spawn as a hunt surprise just like the Varg & Ewecus, he will always spawn as the hunt surprise in a deciduous biome. It will spawn next to it's bounty- a recently killed Koalefant or Squawstrich. When killed, the Kator drops 6 Meat & 2 Kat Kloth, which can be used to craft the Kat Kloak.

Kator attacks in an AoE fashion much like Deerclops & Bearger. If Kator lands a hit, it will immediately follow it up with a second attack instead of waiting out the attack period. When knocked to half health, the Kator will scream and become enraged. In phase 2 the Kator drops it's attack period from 3 to 2 and becomes even more hostile.

Strategy
It is not recommended to tank the Kator due to it's relatively high damage & ability to chain attacks. For the same reasons (alongside it's AoE) it is also heavily discouraged to bring mobs to the fight. In Phase 2, a road is highly recommended if you wish to avoid damage.

A Marble Suit, or better yet a Marble Helmet are suitable to tank out Phase 2 with. Otherwise, getting in a single hit and then running is suitable.

Trivia

 * Kator's assets were found among the Newhome Files Leak
 * Kator was added in the Beasts of Burden update alongside the Malligator and Squawstrich.
