With twelve legs the creature had to weigh in at a considerable amount, however its bird ancestry made it lighter than expected. It still wasn't something four humans with three-meter pikes could expect to stop.
Pikes that had magic to not break posed a great challenge for the beast. While they couldn't stop it, poking at was irritating to the monster. Since the thick hide couldn't be punctured the group of humans braced and slid on the dirt without care. Several thundering steps later, it wildly shook its head and stopped charging, trying to bite the sticks that irritated it.
