Endgame players can just tank the damage from them. You dont even need to use a axe.

A new player can however use a terrain. Simply kite the new monster into a surfling fire inside swamp. If that is not a option, kite them outside the swamp and place down fireplaces, so it will burn itself slowly if you lack firearrows.

The Ai is kinda stupid right now tho, so you can get it stuck into other trees and just safely spam fire arrows.

Another strategy is to use a treehouse. Like i abuse it for bonemass:
