It walks on two or three of its strange spike-tipped limbs, pushing itself along at a reasonable clip while keeping its head low to the ground. When it fights, its limbs rise and slash like whips, bringing its spikes to bear in a terrible whirlwind of tearing flesh. Mad slashers absorb food through small, mouthlike runnels on the underside of their limbs. They emit from their runnels a horrible tittering, which becomes louder and more frenetic the more blood the slashers spill.
