Screecher

Screecher

Screechers are enemies in Raft. They are one of multiple threats to the player.

Summary

• Alongside Thirst, Oxygen, Hunger, and Sharks, Screechers are one of the mechanics in Raft that can result in player death. Screechers will attack the player whilst on the Large Islands, dealing the player via dropping stones on their head. When a Screecher is killed, its parts can be harvested by interacting with it. The screecher does not respawn when killed, and drops around 4 Raw Drumsticks, 12 Feathers and sometimes a Screecher Head.

Fighting Back

• To kill the Screecher, you need a Spear or a Bow. It is recommended to use the bow. When the Screecher stops to pick up a boulder, use a spear to stab it, or shoot it with the bow. After several hits, depending on what you used to attack the Screecher, it will die.
• If the player is under two floors, the boulders will not be able to hit them.

Avoiding the Screecher

• Using several floors on your raft can avoid the boulders.
• Hide in caves.

Trivia

• The Screecher was originally going to be able to destroy parts of the raft with the boulders. Whether it does not do this now due to a bug or a deliberate change is unknown.

• The Screecher’s design is based on the ossifrage or bearded vulture
