Gotera

are large tree-like Creatures with glowing yellow eyes and a projectile-launching nose branch. They are encountered in the Wooded Valley.

Behaviour
are aggressive Creature and will attack the Player upon sight. will wander around an area and will become hostile and fire projectiles at the Player once they've been spotted by the. Also, will attack other Creatures such as Spriggulls if they're spotted.

Abilities
have quite a few abilities, these are: Regular Projectile attack, Planted Projectile attack, Spin Projectile attack, Area of Effect seed burst attack, Stomp attack and Sprinting. The Regular Projectile attack is simple, the will simply begin to fire a projectile at you whilst strafing. The Planted Projectile attack is the same as the Regular Projectile attack but in the "planted" stance (More in next paragraph). The Spin Projectile attack is where the will spin its head in a circle and begin to rapidly fire projectiles to damage all Players in its line of fire. The Area of Effect seed burst attack is where the will fire a large amount of seeds from the top of its head, these seeds will slowly fall down and deal damage to anyone they touch. And the Stomp attack is where the will stomp its foot, projecting a vine from the ground and dealing damage to any nearby Players. Sprinting is where the will chase after the Player at accelerated speed.

Stances
The has three stances for different situations: Standing, Prowling and Planted. When a is Standing it is in its neutral stance and can not fire at the Player. This usually means it has not spotted the Player yet or is sprinting towards them. Prowling is when the will move slower than usual and will fire at an average pace attempting to hit the Player. Planted is when the has bent its knees and essentially rooted itself into the ground, when in this mode the is unable to move, but can fire at an accelerated pace and also gives it access to moves such as the Spin Projectile Attack.

Fighting
Due to its varied move-set can be hard to predict, but it is known that  are susceptible to attacks with axes, and will take more damage when hit with an axe weapon. The best chance of getting the upper hand against a is to surround it with multiple people in an area with lots of cover, so Players can hide, fire arrows, or distract the while others attack.
