Mutant babies

[Spades]

I keep seeing mutant babies outside my base, does this mean that a mutant attack is comming?

They only ever spawn when a virginia (spider mutant) is nearby. It doesn't necessarily indicate an attack so to speak, just that a virginia is there or has been there previously. It could even have spawned and walked right past without attacking.

I just saw a Virginia and Cowman running around in circles, a few meters away from my base :(

Is there a effective way to kill the Cowman, because i find that he charges before the explosives explode...

Fire arrows, try to find high ground and shoot em with fire arrows. Legsy is easy to dodge you can do that while running/walking, fatty can run waaaaay faster, if you have to stay on ground level dont get stuck in a corner or rock, he will perma knock you on your butt..

Thanks!

I've noticed that sometimes the Virginia's babies can spawn pretty far away from the Virginia, so if you see a group of babies the Virginia may not be right next to them. However, what happened to me several times, is I see a baby mutant next to my base, I kill him, and the next day another spawns, etc. These seem to be random encounters.
As for the cowman, the best solution I've got is fire arrows, or anything that burns, as he won't charge you while burning.

You can attach sap to explosives to create sticky bombs. Those are top notch at destroying them. Fire arrows do work extremely well on normal difficulty though.
