Spicy birb toasts strawberries before eating them (Patreon)

We were trying to figure out a way to make sure that this critter does its fire attack at least once before you pacify it, and we came up with this! Sometimes game design needs end up leading to really flavorful solutions like this. Once it's pacified, you can direct it to use the fire attack for puzzles, so it's important for players to see that attack beforehand.

Since this one only eats toasted fruit, and the regular non-spicy birb only eats non-toasted fruit, it's actually a bit of a challenge to fight both types at the same time!
