Harvestman

The Harvestmen is an unique enemy in Fear & Hunger. It roams the abandoned streets of Ma'habre, waiting for its next prey.

Location & Behaviour
If you are playing Terror and Starvation mode and there is a girl in your team, then there will be a unique scene with The Harvestman. When you walk past the huge hole inside one of the buildings of the Ma'habre, it will reach out and kidnap the girl. After that they can be found sitting on one of the streets, where he will pet her on the head.

Strategy
The Harvestmen, at first, appear to not be dangerous. Even after initiating combat it will only smile, whistle and pet the player. However, after approximately its third turn, the Harvestman will suddenly attempt to grab the player which initiates a coin flip. If successful it will result in player's immediate death, though not before triggering a unique game-over animation.

The simplest strategy is to cut off the creature's head immediately.

Trivia

 * Orange~ explains that the first design came from helping a friend to make a cover image for his EP.
 * The overworld entity acts in a very unusual manner, frequently getting stuck walking in place when reaching map limitations and will start a battle in seemingly impossible situations, such as through objects or from really far away.
