Skills and Abilities

The cliff strider vomits up its last meal, dealing poison damage in a cone and leaving an area of effect on the ground. Standing in the circle can apply continuous moderate poison damage over time.

Stab

A melee ability wherein the cliff strider stabs its target with its beak. Deals minor physical damage and may cause bleeding.

Tail Swipe

The cliff strider quickly swipes you with its tail, dealing low physical damage and staggering you.
