MacTusk

MacTusk is an aggressive Mob added in the A Winter's Tale update. Along with Wee MacTusk he's part of the Father and Son Walrus Hunting Party, which will respawn after 2.5 days after being killed, by an Igloo. MacTusk can take two blasts from the Ice Staff to be frozen.

MacTusk uses a Blow Dart as a ranged weapon to hunt down the player while trying to keep his distance, however, he will punch the player if they come too close. His range is very long, being able to hit you from two screens away. Since the Doorway to Adventure update making it possible to dodge the darts he shoots at you, it is advised to run diagonally due to the dart's high speed.

Strategy

 * It's recommended to use ranged weapons against this foe, since he will run away from the player if pursued.
 * If you come across the Walrus Camp whilst it is inactive, it would be prudent to set up defenses or traps, or maybe even wait there for a physical confrontation! However, waiting there could get you overwhelmed.
 * Bringing a couple of Pigs with you will make this a much easier fight.
 * When you first spot MacTusk he will be walking towards you with his son and two hounds. You will know when Mactusk engages you when he flips you the bird. At this point he will give chase and start running while spitting darts. When engaged it can be difficult to escape MacTusk as he will often get 2-3 shots in if you run in the opposite direction.
 * It is possible to hide from the Hunting Party using the Bush Hat if you act fast enough.
