A photo of a Death Ostrich
Death Ostriches are hostile entities once believed to be completely extinct within the Backrooms. If you encounter these entities, do not run away in a straight line, they will catch you.
Description
Death Ostriches are entities which vaguely resemble a flightless bird like an ostrich, but will have no feet or wings, 4 eyes, and long tail feathers which drag along the floor as they hover their cow sized bodies 3 ft. above the floor via unknown means.
Though slow moving (approx. 3 mph hover speed), these entities are able to extend their necks indefinitely at a rate of 6 meters per second or at speeds of 14 mph. This ability allows them to compensate for their slow hover speeds, and allows them to chase down prey for miles and miles, their necks all the while growing impossibly long in the process.
Death Ostriches have excellent sight and hearing, and can use their beaks to burrow through walls and other obstacles when in pursuit of a Wanderer. Once its target has been reached, the Death Ostrich will proceed to stab them mercilessly with their beak until they have been killed, at which point it will feed on their entrails until satisfied.
Severing or destroying the head of a Death Ostrich will not result in its death. Instead, the entities neck will continue to head in the direction it last saw its target as it recovers from the damage and regenerate its head in a period of 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the severity of the damage. The Death Ostrich will be blinded and deafened during this time however, giving Wanderers who are being pursued a chance to escape the entity. The only way to truly kill a Death Ostrich is to destroy its body itself in its totality, either by completely tearing it to pieces or by burning it to ashes.
