Shrikes are small reptilian creatures hungry for human flesh. Shrikes are not evolved reptilian, so they don't have any energy ranged attacks. Due to their small size and small jaw, this reptile monster does not bite but will only use it's sharp razor claw to eviscerate it's victims. To compensate for it's weaker strength, Shrikes have the unique ability to blend themselves to the environment for a few moments, making them almost invisible. This make the Shrikes very hard to spot, and if you aren't careful it may already be too late. Shrikes emit a very high frequency scream that can give you a clue to their location when they are cloaking. Shrikes are ground-only, and they move and attack very fast. Best weapon to use against them is the Mine Layer, but beware that when they are cloaking they are immune to the Spider Mine, so switch to any explosive weapon like the Rocket Launcher or the Shock Rifle Shock Combo.
