| The Mighty Magpie is a boss monster added during [[meta:history:seasoni|Season 1]]. Wielding a sharp beak and a reckless disregard for standard jungle etiquette, the Magpie sneaks up on unsuspecting contestants and violently separates them from their shinies. If you're lucky, you //might// hear a rustling in the bushes as it approaches - which is your only chance to get away safe. If you're not - prepare for victory or death. | The Mighty Magpie is a boss monster added during [[meta:history:seasoni|Season 1]]. Wielding a sharp beak and a reckless disregard for standard jungle etiquette, the Magpie sneaks up on unsuspecting contestants and violently separates them from their shinies.

| True to its name, the Mighty Magpie is a tougher opponent than most. Its stats will always scale to be higher than your own, and it doesn't have weak points that can be targeted via [[gameplay:guides:puzzlecombat|Puzzle Combat]]. Use grenades, implants, or timed hits to your advantage. If you're successful you'll be rewarded with a frankly ridiculous amount of EXP - usually enough to gain a level and a half. If you're not... expect a trip to the [[places:jungle:Failboat]]. | True to its name, the Mighty Magpie is a tougher opponent than most.
