The BFB is a massive Bird exclusive to the Hamlet DLC. It appears every 10-24 days, heralded by a loud cawing, and then a large shadow flying above the player. It is an extremely large bird creature that has foliage growing on it, with two smaller "inner" heads inside its beak. It is a source of Dung Piles, dropping a few as it flies around. The Dung Piles do NOT deal damage to the player, despite showing a visible shockwave-Like effect.

Behavior

The BFB starts as a small bird shaped shadow above the player, that will bounce between the edges of the players view distance dropping Dung Piles periodically. It's shadow will progressively grow larger before stopping at about the point it's wing span takes up nearly all of the players vision radius. When the shadow reaches its maximum size, the BFB will immediately land as long as the player is not on a blacklisted turf. The BFB will wait in this flying above the player while they are indoors or standing on blacklisted turfs. Going indoors will not cause the BFB to leave while in the flying state, but the arrival of night will.

The Blacklisted Turfs:

• Flat Stone Turf
• Stone Road Turf
• Lawn Turf
• Deep Rainforest Turf
• Gas Rainforest Turf
• Any turf next to water or the edge of the map (About 2-3 Away)

Upon landing, the head will start chasing the player directly while 2 legs and tail follow behind. Its legs, similar to Bigfoot, will deal 1000 damage to anything they land on, while cutting down any trees, and will destroying any buildings. The head of the BFB will temporarily stop chasing if it sees any Structures (or Gnat Mounds), and will move to destroy any in sight. Once landed the BFB will leave if the player goes indoors or on blacklisted Turf.

Tips

• The BFB's head moves about as fast as a normal player character, making outrunning it possible with speed boosts like a Stalking Stick, a Walking Cane or Coffee. If the BFB head makes it over the player, they will be swallowed and transported to the Nest on the Pinacle. One of the things in the nest is a Stone Egg which hatches into a Ro Bin.
• The BFB can also be summoned at will by using the Bird Whistle. Making using it for tree cutting possible much like the Old Bell.
• The BFB will not spawn during Night, Full Moon, or the Aporkalypse, and will fly away immediately after landing if summoned with the Bird Whistle or in the air.

Trivia

• It was added in the Early Access of Hamlet. It was not fully implemented in the closed beta, but it could be debugspawned.
• At the end of the Hamlet E3 trailer, a large bird-like silhouette that slightly resembles the BFB is shown flying in the distance.
• The name "BFB" may be a reference to the Roald Dahl book The BFG, which stands for "big friendly giant". "BFB" may then stand for "big friendly bird".
  • The fact that the BFB takes the character to its nest also may refer to The BFG, in which the giant takes a girl to his home in order to keep her from telling other humans about the existence of giants.
  • The name may also be a reference to the BFG, a large weapon in the Doom video game franchise. This would mean it stands for "big f**king bird".
  • It is also entirely probable that it stands for "big flying bird", as it is basicly a gigantic bird.
• If you turn off BFB and then in game use bird whistle, he will still spawn.
• The BFB's original name, (as seen in the Hamlet early access announcements) was "The Roc". Its prefab name also remained "roc". A Roc is a giant legendary bird from Middle Eastern mythology and appears the epic Arabian Nights, in which the main protagonist is abducted and taken back to it's nest in much the same way the player is.
• According to Wickerbottom, the BFB is in the family Accipitridae, containing birds such as hawks, eagles, and Old World vultures.
• The BFB's legs act quite similar to Biiigfoot - with the same amount of damage.
• Its design may be based off of the shoebill stork. Having a visually similar head, legs, and posture.
• When raining, the BFB's shadow will provide shelter, granting 35% Wetness resistance, and preventing held Torches from being affected by Rain.
• The BFB will still do the flyover sequence when spawned with the console.
