Meet the Strow
Introduction
This stone-like creature sits still in darkness, its eyes glowing in the presence of a player.
When active, you hear the sound of its persistent gaze, and it's careful to only make moves when you're not looking.
Varients
The strow has a deep varient, a more territoial creature. It wont attack unless it finds a good reason to.
Damage and attacking
Damaging the stoney bird isn't as simple as it seems, as anything but a pickaxe doesn't seem to phase it.
Be careful though, as staring into its eyes sends chills up your spine... you've been petrified!
Drops
Both strows drop strow essence, a new crafting material that can be used in
