Squawstrich

The Squawstrich is a hunt mob that is found in Desert Biomes. Unlike the Koalefant, the Squawstich will not run away from the player if they are close. When killed, the Squawstrich drops 2 Drumsticks, 3-5 Saffron Feathers, and 1-3 Up Feathers, which can be used to craft the Snazzy Hat. If left alive, the Squawstrich will occasionally drop Guano.

The Squawstrich attacks by lunging forward and pecking the player. When hit 8 times, it will momentarily run back before parrying by shooting tornadoes at the player. The tornadoes deal little damage on their own but will spell disaster if you're caught amidst multiple.

Strategy
The Squawstrich can be kited by hitting it 2-3 times and then backing away. Do not chase it when it runs away, as it will quickly turn direction and trap you with tornado attacks. Instead chose to run perpendicular or in literally any other direction. If you are getting overwhelmed, its practical to run away as the Squawstrich is easy to engage.

It is impractical to bring mobs to the fight (especially spiders) as they will caught caught in it's tornado. The more players or mobs you add on to the fight, the more often the Squawstrich will parry as it is being hit more often. If you are Webber, Woodweavers may be a viable albeit risky option so long as you can keep the aggro on yourself and not your minions.

If all else fails, the Squawstrich can be tanked so long as you avoid it's tornado attack.
