Miros Bird

Overview
Scissorbirds or Miros birds are bipedal creatures with a long beak, yellow eyes, and black bodies. They resemble birds and have both metal portions and flesh portions that make up their body.

They are typically found in the Memory Crypts and Subterranean.

Abilities/Behavior
These creatures are very fast and can easily outrun Slugcat, but due to their large size, Slugcat can fall or crawl into a hole for safety. Be careful though, as these birds can pluck Slugcat out of the hole if the hole is not deep enough.

Combat
While its inadvisable to fight them, they are killable. Only the top portions of their body are organic, meaning any spears or bombs thrown should be aimed at the neck. Their legs and beak are metal and are the most dangerous. If you fight them make sure you cripple them before they get too close. Make sure that you're alone and no other Scissorbirds are coming. Worth noting, blue glow orbs stun them briefly.

Stealth
The Memory Crypts and Subterranean are full of tunnels. Use them to sneak past the birds. They will not notice you unless they see you or you're jumping around a lot.

Evasion
Scissorbirds will make a metal clanking sound when they are nearby so that is usually the warning to hide. They can not hear or smell, but their incredible sense of sight allows them to spot you from almost anywhere. Because of this, they are vulnerable to bright flashes, like the glowing blue fruit you will find. As soon as you can, duck into a deep tunnel. They will move on eventually.

Trivia

 * Scissorbirds aren't social. and are sometimes seen to threaten or swear at the scissorbird that crashed into them.
 * They will wait a little time at gaps and pipes where they saw Slugcat, leaving you with less time to reach the leg.
 * Scissorbirds will occasionally wait in one spot, making it near impossible for Slugcat to progress. It is not known if this is a bug.
 * In their code, it's programmed for Pole Plant creatures to feel afraid of Miros birds despite not having any real to interaction in game.
