Greetings, Merkas:
Merkadome’s illustrious Pest Control department publishes the latest study of their CCCP (Condensed Compendium of Pest Control), in which they warn you of the goodness and dangers of the creatures that inhabit our beloved settlement. With all the bullets it costs us to get the three little guys in the department to do something useful… Then don’t say you weren’t warned!

What he looks like and where he hangs out
Among the many, many experiments that the V Reich’s Scientific Division has been conducting, some have come to light, and even escaped, as in the case of Der Polliter. Implausible as it may seem, it is a genetic mutation combining human, bird (apparently chicken) DNA and Übersoldat serum. This mixture has resulted in a giant yellow chicken with a humanoid appearance, although small in size (less than 1.50m), and for the moment it is not known if it is a unique specimen, or if there are more beings similar to it. In addition to its orange beak, it has short but strong legs, its arms are covered with feathers, although muscular, and its body is covered with yellowish down, as if it were a hen’s chick. He also sports a toupee that he always wears slicked back (no one knows how he manages to keep it that way, or how he has hair at all), and dresses in military-style clothing, with camouflage shorts and a green tactical waistcoat. He also always wears a black helmet with the V Reich symbol under his arm/wing, or strapped to his belt (presumably he doesn’t wear it so as not to mess up his trademark toupee). Surprisingly, he uses a Luger pistol, which it is not known how old it is, or how it still works.
What it does
He often prowls the underworld of Merkadome in search of what he considers a worthy opponent to duel him, whether with a gun, a machete, or with his fists. According to witnesses, he has a violent and defiant temper, which worsens when he consumes alcohol or any other narcotic substance. His avian brain shows clear signs of lacking fully functioning human reasoning, as he is sparing with words, and when he does speak, he repeatedly interrupts his discourse with squawks and cackles. Even so, he is easily incited to combat. He makes his living by challenging any unsuspecting person who crosses his gaze or dares to provoke him. When he wins (which is not very often), he collects his reward in food or bullets, and seems to have no other ambition in life than to fight and challenge. As proof of this, its yellow down coat is covered in scars from all the fights it has fought, involving all sorts of weapons (burns, cuts, holes, fractures, etc.). Furthermore, when it wins a fight, it often gloats over the event and humiliates its opponent by pecking at it (it has even been reported that one opponent ended up completely naked because Der Polliter ripped off all of his clothes). If the enemy is unfortunate enough to fall unconscious, this creature will pull down its trousers and defecate on the poor incapacitated person’s face.
How to hunt it
The best way to attract his attention doesn’t require much effort: simply walk across his path and stare. With that gesture, Der Polliter will understand that you are being challenged and will immediately prepare for combat.
Some fools have tried to capture him (who knows why), and their luck has been short-lived, as they have quickly ended up knocked out (some even worse) and without their prey. Inexplicably, Der Polliter has a gift for escape, and no one in Merkadome has been able to hold him for more than a few hours. Despite his small brain, he seems to know how to analyze his captors to know when they are most distracted or vulnerable. It is recommended to avoid approaching this specimen.
