As such, any number of Kitcoons can be recruited as followers in addition to the player's one critter.Ĭritters can have traits which determine their behavior. Kitcoons follow players in the same way as critters and can be Pet and Abandoned in the same way that critters can, but they do not count as critters themselves. Walter's companion Woby counts as pet, making Walter unable to adopt critters from the Rock Den. To get a different critter, players must "Abandon" their current one by standing near a Rock Den and right-clicking that critter. A critter can be "pet" by clicking on it, triggering a small animation.Įach player can only have one critter at any given time. Feeding the critter when it has above 50% of its hunger time remaining has no effect on the maximum hunger time. When it is fed when with less than 20% hunger time remaining, this maximum time will decrease. Players can increase this time to up to 4.5 days (5.5 for "Plump" critters) in the increments of 0.5, by feeding the critter when it is between its 20% and 50% hunger time remaining. There is a "mini-game" around critters' maximum hunger time. Because critter hunger is handled using the same system as food spoilage, the rate at which they become hungry is affected by weather the same way other perishable items are.
Critters have a hunger time of 2 days after which they will be considered starving.
Any food given refreshes the critter's hunger time to its maximum. Critters can be fed anything edible, including Eternal Fruitcake, Rot, and Rotten Eggs. Each pet requires two Items to adopt, an item related to the mob and a specific food made with a Crock Pot.Ĭritters will make noise when hungry, but won't die if not fed. They look like baby versions of some other Mobs in the game and can be obtained from the Critters Tab while standing next to the Rock Den. Critters, also known as Pets, are passive immortal Mobs in Don't Starve Together, introduced in A New Reign.
