Palm Treeguard

Palm Treeguards are the Palm Tree equivalent of Treeguards, and are hostile Monsters that may spawn as a result of cutting down a nearby Palm Tree. Roughly 2-3 spawn at a time.

Behaviour
Once spawned, they are instantly hostile, attack the player with both ranged and melee attacks. The ranged attacks are coconuts thrown at and around the player, roughly five at a time. (Note that coconuts are not dropped from this, unlike Prime Ape's manure throw). To avoid getting hit, notice the small patches of shadow that indicate where the coconuts will land, and avoid these areas. There melee attack is very similar to a regular Treeguard's, and can be avoided by keeping a distance away from them.

They walk at a pace similar to that of a Treeguard's, being much slower than the player. However they will follow the player indefinitely, or at least until the player is no longer accessible, because they have left the island. This is the recommended course of action.

As of now, planting coconuts seems to have no affect - unlike Treeguards, who can be appeased by planting saplings close to them.
