They were thought to be brought to life by [[Zarok]]'s magic, though some argued it was the [[Captive Farmers|farmers]] themselves who deployed them.

It seems these Scarecrows have teamed up with their arch-rival, the crow, and are now out to get you! They are very deadly creatures that do a ton of damage when they connect. Don't let their stillness lull you into a false sense of security. Get too close and they do a deadly spinning dance across your bones. In addition, once in a while they will open their chests and shoot out a few Dan-hungry crows who are looking to peck out that one good eye. While the game warns against antagonizing these straw-filled buggers - instead telling us to block their paths with objects (such as the wagons) - you're going to need to kill them all if you want to get enough souls to fill the Chalice. Your best bet is to keep moving around them, while whacking with your Sword. They take multiple hits, but eventually go down for the count. | It seems these Scarecrows have teamed up with their arch-rival, the crow, and are now out to get you!

The first time one sees these creatures casually gliding around they might be forgiven for thinking they are quite charming, elegant even, that would be a very big mistake. At a moments notice they can turn into a terrifying combat machine, clawing arms rotating like a force ten tornado, and set on crashing into their sorry target with technical precision. If one's general combat skills are suspect it may prove prudent to set them on fire as soon as is possible - well, they are stuffed with dry straw, you do the maths! | The first time one sees these creatures casually gliding around they might be forgiven for thinking they are quite charming, elegant even, that would be a very big mistake.
