Bracken
S+"Leaf-backed neck-snatcher. One bad stare and you're luggage."
BEHAVIOR PATTERN
Runs a stalk/ambush loop. It wants to sit just outside your camera and creep in from behind. Spot it and it hard-stops (stands up, does the warning). Stare too long and you trigger full aggro. It loves corners and door frames because your camera swings wide and gives it a free angle.
🔰 Survival Protocol (Solo)
Glance, don’t hard-stare. Quick 180 checks every few seconds in hallways. If it stands up: walk away, break LOS with a corner. If unarmed: kite it through doors; it loses tempo when re-angling. Dead-end? Don’t panic-run. Back out slowly.
⚔️ Combat Guide (Team) KILLABLE
5 Shovel Hits. DO NOT SOLO unless you’re cracked. Team protocol: Player A is bait—keeps it visible to hold the “stand-off” window. Player B swings from the side/back hitbox. Zap Gun gives a short freeze—use it to secure 1–2 hits, not to “stun-lock.”
Audio Signature
"Low throat-growl when annoyed. The big tell is the stand-up warning: a sharp hiss/snarl like a pressure release. If a safe hallway goes quiet for too long, assume it’s watching you."
