These creatures are mutated forms of the ostrich with hard bony beaks which can inflict 1-8 points of damage.
They also fight with their two claws, each of which inflicts 1-6 HP of damage.

They can make occasional bursts of high {SPEED}{SPEED} and can achieve a movement rate of 24" one melee round in every five.

Clubneks are coloured varying shades of green and have yellow beaks.

They are not normally aggressive unless threatened, <WAIT = no problem, ADVANCE = combat>
but their behaviour is rather erratic and unpredictable. <GH.117 : tendency towards C>
Normally they are herbivorous and are rarely found below the ground,
preferring to roam meadowland && woods.
<interestingly, the image in the FF is of a clubnek in a desert>
