Moose/Goose

The Goose, also known as Moose, is one of the giants from the Reign of Giants DLC. Not much is currently known about it other than that it appears to be connected to Spring, and it can lay eggs. Details on its reproduction aren't known. An embryo for the Moose can be seen in the spring trailer. It takes 30 hits from a Dark Sword to be killed. When the Moose billows a particularly loud honk, the player will drop whatever they are currently holding in their hand.

Attack Pattern
If the player is far away, the moose will jump towards the player, making a honking sound. When in close range, the goose will make a charging animation and buck the player with its horns. You can manage 3 attacks before the animation starts, with a further 2 attacks missing during the animation.

Trivia

 * The name is a tongue-in-cheek portmanteau of the words "moose" and "goose".
 * The item it drops, the "Down Thermantidote", cools the player by 40-50 degrees.
 * The in-game name of this giant alternates between "Moose" and "Goose".
