Moose/doc

Moose are highly dangerous animals that move incredibly fast, have a large amount of health, and are frighteningly dexterous. Their melee attack is only moderately damaging, but when combined with its other stats, is quite adequate to rapidly kill lower level survivors.

Early characters should avoid moose until developing moderate combat skills, good armour, a good weapon, and having ready access to obstacles to reduce its effectiveness. It is not unheard of to witness these majestic creatures striding fearlessly into a horde of zombies, only to come out victorious with mere moderate injuries.

How to kill moose

Moose are vulnerable to ranged weapons, (1 cut armour) however it is hard to get enough shots to kill a moose before it reaches you and forces you to fight in melee combat. Powerful firearms should be enough, and explosives are not out of the question if you're not ready to fight moose in melee combat yet. But most of the time the noise from those weapons will attract many zombies, so it's up to you to decide: zombies or a moose?

Fighting a moose in melee combat is a dangerous proposition. If you are too wounded, you will not be able to flee because the moose has MUCH more speed than you, which makes fighting a moose in melee combat an irreversible decision, at least until you kill it, hurt it enough to make the moose run away, or find it a zombie horde to tear to shreds. However, like all things, moose can actually become beneficial! It is a source of food, fat, pelts, and bones rather than a deadly enemy, if you manage to get yourself into a state where you can kill moose before they kill you, and get enough armour to completely negate moose's attack. You would preferably get a heavy-duty weapon like wood axe, sledge hammer, knife spear, broadsword, etc, and reinforced clothing. (mostly on the torso and head, if they run out of hp, you're dead)
