The Friendly Scarecrow isn't something many people bother building, outside of canary feathers and a certain boss. But for those who do decided to build it, I feel like there are two ways to just make it a slightly Friendlier Scarecrow.

Section 1. UI
Currently, the Friendly Scarecrow is the only remnant of the old skin system left in the game. This makes this menu hard to navigate for both Veterans and Newer players, and it frankly just pales in comparison to the new menu. This could be updated to be similar to the Wardrobe menu that pops up in game, with the scarecrow striking their sexy pose where your character usually stands. This would bring the Scarecrow's UI up to par with the Wardrobe and Item Collection and make it easier to mess around with outfits to see what works.

Section 2. Hats
This would add onto their secondary purpose of being dress-up dolls, while making them more customizable at the same time. It would improve the handsomeness of this handsome friendly man by 87.856%, which is a significant amount! You could have one wearing a helmet at your armory, or another wearing a chef hat at your kitchen! Or you can just put a jester hat on the one you have sitting in the corner of your base that you used for a Canary, your choice. This is less necessary then updating the UI (Which is also largely unnecessary... huh.) but it would be relatively neat! It should probably work in the same way you give hats to pigs, without the complaining. It would also be very funny.

Section 3. Conclusion
While Friendly Scarecrows make up a very, very, small portion of this game. I still think its important to resolve the issue of it using the old inventory, as this may be jarring to players who are used to the new, much better inventory. These changes would also make them more used inside bases, as hats are funny. And having a funny hat without having to wear the hat would allow for peak hat efficiency, raising the enjoyment of the game for hat-wearers by 37.823% (a fair bit!). Ultimately, this is just intended to keep the Scarecrows UI consistent with the rest of the Player Inventory UI, and to make friendly scarecrows friendlier to use.
Thank you for reading.
