Maneater is one of the best monsters in the game, yet it makes me sad

Usually when people talk about enemies and how to deal with them. They actual get around to test them, look through their AI, give you methods on how to deal with them and then some cheese methods as an aside. If there is any misinfo, comments would rectify it

I'll be frank, lately the enemies are just tiresome. It's either "you shouldn't kill them, duh", "you can't kill them", "they insta-kill you" or they do both and there isn't much you can do. Most thing I see is how to cheese them (Butler and Fox before it got removed)

Then, the Maneater gets added. Yeah it's another "insta-kill enemy", but It's real easy for it to never bother you in its baby form. And you can totally survive its adult form indoors (unless its pathing freaks out in its stalking state and gets too close to you, surely due to its high speed. But even that, you can survive the charge by jumping while moving away then breaking LoS after it charged you)

Yet, nobody talks about any of that. The baby form has a lot of misinfo thrown around without corrections. Any info about the adult's indoor behavior just doesn't exist and everything is either about getting rid of it ASAP by getting it stuck or cheese the heck out of it with doors or railings

For once we get an enemy you can deal with since the Old Bird (that you don't need to cheese) yet I don't see anything talked about it other than how to cheese it. Maybe it's too new still, but yeah. All I see is people wanting to cheese it while I'm super happy I get a cave dweller instead of a cave barber and bring it around the whole looting session (either holding it or letting it follow me)

At this point I'm wondering if people got too conditioned to cheese an enemy as much as they can instead of playing with its interesting features thanks to what we got before the Maneater. It's like nobody cares to know what actually makes the baby cry, that the baby has memory of the players or what makes the adult charge at you, let's just cheese it lol.

At least people got interested with how the fox worked despite how unfair it was when its nest was under the ship and how useless it was when its nest wasn't under the ship

Am I crazy or ignorant or just dumb to think and say all this? Am I just super biased towards the Maneater compared to the last few enemies we got?

Well I think it's just a pre-pubescent freak that's desperate for mothership, then when it grows up instantaneously it realizes it doesn't give a frick about mothership anymore and is more interested in patricide.

idk maneaters are soooooo cute. ppl just genuinely cant handle them, shake them when theyre fine, and THEN they turn into horrible monsters.
