This bird is really big. It's also really grumpy. I wouldn't go so far as to call it foul, though.

Hit messages:

• The avian calls on its invisible friend to beat you up. At first, you're pretty sure you're getting throttled by a plush snake. Then it seems like you're getting crushed by a plush pillar. Whatever it is, it's plush enough that the confusion is the worst part. (psychic) damage
• The avian gives you an excellent chance to learn some new things about first aid.
• The avian bites you, knocking you off a convenient cliff. Man, the only way this thing could be more dangerous is if it had another head and sweet stop-motion.
