Grazer is an  Enemy in Horizon Zero Dawn that the players can confront to obtain Experience and Loot.  It can also be found in normal and corrupted variations. Grazer doesn't have a daemonic version.

Grazer Description

• The Grazer has a long neck with a pair of metallic antler-like structures atop its head, each composed of a long, angled base tipped with a set of four rotor blades. The Grazer uses these to cut grass which they then consume and convert into Blaze Four blaze canisters are located on its back.

Grazer Combat Information

• Behavior Info: Grazers are invariably found in herds. With heads down they work, busily cutting and converting grass into Blaze, stopping only to quietly change to another spot. For protection against hunters, they are usually accompanied by recon machines such as Watchers or Longlegs, frequently in tandem with combat machines such as Sawtooths or Ravagers. Grazers are skittish; if a perceived threat is identified, Grazers emit a loud, shrill, rapid warble before fleeing. However, if the threat is very close, the closest Grazers will attack rather than flee. 
• Grazers don't have any ranged attack.
• Weakness: The blaze canisters in its back is highly volatile and should be considered its weak point. Shooting one of the blaze canisters with  a fire arrow will provoke an explosion that will eradicate all or most of the herd.
• As all small machines, Grazers can be killed instantly by a single use of a silent strike.
• Resistance: None
