Strategy

• Strong early-game towers like the Golden Crook Boss, Golden Cowboy or Engineer can clear this out quite easily.
• Because this enemy spawns in large hordes, the Electroshocker and the Mortar can be really helpful against it.
  • The Electroshocker can also slow it down, which gives your towers more time to kill it.
