Oasis Hawk
Level 4 Wildlife · Mariposa Springs
Oasis Hawk is one of the wildlife threats a player meets in Desperados Destiny, sitting at level 4.
Field notes
A Cooper's hawk that hunts the butterfly swarms at the oasis. It dives without warning from the cottonwood canopy.
What you are walking into
Oasis Hawk is level 4, carries 36 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it an early-game threat, reachable in your first sessions. It has no trick to it beyond persistence, so the fight comes down to your draws and your gear. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Oasis Hawk plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Oasis Hawk
Oasis Hawk is encountered at Mariposa Springs. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for Mariposa Springs covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 48 experience and between $2 and $4. Its loot table can yield Hawk Feathers and Talons. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
