The Giant Kiwi is the only neutral entity in Fatal Floors, a cooperative survival horror experience developed by FaultyMarkus Games on Roblox. Appearing from Floor 4 onward, this oversized avian perches on a nest containing three Giant Eggs worth 25 credits each. While peaceful under normal conditions, disturbing her nest turns her into a relentless predator capable of wiping out unprepared scavengers.
Giant Kiwi Overview and Core Stats

Behavioral Phases: Calm vs. Aggressive
The Giant Kiwi operates strictly under two distinct behavioral states: the Calm Phase and the Aggressive Phase.
The Calm Phase
When a floor loads with a Giant Kiwi, she spawns seated on her nest. For the first 10 seconds of the floor, she remains completely silent before starting to emit a steady whistling or bird-singing sound that can be heard across the map. During this state, players can walk directly beside her without receiving damage. Stepping close triggers the "Protective" badge and adds research progress to your log.
The Aggressive Phase
Taking an egg directly from the nest without an immediate replacement triggers hostility. Once an item is removed, the bird freezes for approximately half a second before entering her Aggressive Phase. She will stand up, flap her wings, lower her head, and sprint toward the player she last detected.
Key survival rules when the Giant Kiwi becomes enraged include:
- Avoid open straightaways: Because the bird is faster than the player and carries a 30 HP attack, looping through obstacles or ducking into vents is mandatory. She cannot fit through vents.
- De-aggro timer: If players break line of sight and remain undetected for one full minute without destroying the nest, she will return to her Calm Phase.
- Nest destruction warning: If the nest is destroyed, the Giant Kiwi will remain aggressive forever.
Egg Gathering and Decoy Swapping Strategies
Collecting Giant Eggs is one of the most profitable actions in the early-to-mid floors, but taking them carelessly usually results in rapid damage or death. Players rely on two primary methods to harvest eggs safely.
Method 1: The Ore Decoy Swap
The nest interface contains three specific item slots. You can replace the eggs with standard mining ores without angering the bird:
- Equip an ore (such as Iron Ore, Jade Ore, or Amber Ore) in your active hand before approaching the nest.
- Interact with the nest prompt to select "Swap Egg".
- Wait out the 6-second interaction timer to complete the exchange.
- The ore acts as a decoy, keeping the Giant Kiwi in her Calm Phase.
Using low-value Iron Ore is recommended. Using expensive ores like Amethyst Ore (75 credits) is counterproductive since an un-cooked Giant Egg sells for 25 credits.
Method 2: The Door and Elevator Lockout
In multiplayer lobbies, teams can exploit the bird's pathfinding and manual door controls:
- Station one player directly outside the room's blast gate button while another runner enters the nest area.
- The runner grabs the egg and immediately sprints toward the door.
- The designated door guard shuts the gate the moment the runner crosses the threshold, trapping the bird inside.
- If multiple players coordinate, they can grab all three eggs simultaneously before retreating into the elevator shaft.
Cooking Giant Eggs
Once eggs are secured in your inventory or storage pots, they can be eaten raw for health or cooked at a Campfire (purchasable in the shop for 750 credits). Cooking an egg substantially increases both its sale value in the Sell Bin and its restorative healing properties compared to raw consumption.
Giant Kiwi Badges and Achievements
Interacting with the Giant Kiwi and her nest allows players to complete several in-game badges tracked by the official Roblox experience.
| Badge Name | In-Game Requirement | Strategy Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Protective | Encounter a Giant Kiwi | Walk directly up to the bird while she is in her nest during the Calm Phase. |
| Risky Business | Steal an egg from a Giant Kiwi nest | Pick up an egg directly without utilizing an ore decoy swap. |
| Perfect Heist | Steal every egg from a Giant Kiwi nest | Empty all three egg slots in a single encounter. |
| Whos The Real Monster? | Fill a Giant Kiwi nest with cooked giant eggs | Cook three eggs at a Campfire and place them back into the nest slots. |
Official Research Lore
According to the in-game Research Tab unlocked at 100% data completion, Giant Kiwis were originally native to The Valley—referencing FaultyMarkus' title Fruit Forager. Local valley foragers considered the birds a nuisance because they stole fruit crops to feed their chicks. When the facility company offered to relocate the population, the foragers accepted.
Inside the facility, male Giant Kiwis were subjected to heavy laboratory testing until the male population was wiped out. Only female birds survived due to their hyper-aggressive protective instincts over their nests. Facility staff chose to leave the remaining nesting females alone until their eggs hatched, leaving wild nests scattered across the abandoned floors following the evacuation disaster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you outrun a Giant Kiwi in a straight hallway?
No. The Giant Kiwi possesses a base running speed faster than a player's normal sprint. In addition, carrying an egg applies a noticeable movement penalty to the player. To survive an active chase, you must break line of sight, duck into vents, or close facility gates behind you.
What happens if you refill the nest while the bird is chasing someone?
Placing an ore or egg back into an empty nest spot can satisfy the bird's programming and restore her to the Calm Phase, provided she has not already cornered her target and the nest remains intact.
Can the Giant Kiwi spawn on the first floor?
No. In standard gameplay, Floor 1 contains basic environmental obstacles and the Blob. The Giant Kiwi begins generating on subsequent facility and mansion floors, typically encountered from Floor 4 through Floor 8.
