The Roadpecker; the speedster of the sands

[Fishyfishyfishy500]

The Roadpecker is a combination of a woodpecker🐦 and a roadrunner, they spawn from giant cacti in the desert that are out of sight, they are rather uncommon

Movement:

Roadpeckers move only during the day when you do, they usually sprint around the desert sands and occasionally fly on top of high places, they try to avoid any sort of larger predators in their region including your nichelings

Size:

these birds are about the size of a teen nicheling, with their tails being as long as they are

Habitat:

Roadpeckers live in the desert biome, though may occasionally wander into cleared plots of Savannah in islands like in Transitional zone, they dislike grass and will avoid it as much as they can

 

Hunting:

If it manages to detect your nichelings, it will run away extremely quickly except if it's a lone baby(which it will try to kill), if cornered or attacked, it will fight back with its 2 attack and 1 pierce which will put a dent into all but the toughest of nichelings, it can also fly onto trees and giant cacti to escape you. They drop 7 food when killed.

Lifespan:

They live for 25 days

 

Diet:

These birds feed on insects(including scorptulas), baby nichelings, bunnils, meat and occasionally berries if they happen across them
