'Keep dying to goose pls help': Where Winds Meet players are being chased around by demonic geese

There are a lot of tough bosses in the recently released wuxia MMO Where Winds Meet, but none of them can match the sheer power of the goose.

Check the subreddit or the Steam forums and you'll see threads of befuddled players with titles like "Goose??" and "please be careful around geese" and "throw every goose you see." Where Winds Meet isn't really a game about killing wildlife, but like the chickens in Zelda games, these geese pack a punch.
