Critters



Most Critters will spawn in the place of enemies near NPCs. Mice, however, will generally not spawn near NPCs.

Tips

 * With several NPCs acquired, keeping Water Candles around your suitable housing will cause more Critters to spawn, without spawning enemies.
 * To find exactly how much damage an enemy does, a critter can be placed on the enemy. Critters have 0 defense and enemy damage to it will not vary unlike most situations of dealing damage. Projectiles from enemies will do varying and reduced damage to critters, so it will not work for measuring projectile damage.
 * Early game, before a player can craft enough torches to place around a base, a player can use critters to alert them when an enemy is approaching.
 * For eligible critter types, 1 in 150 spawns gets a valuable Golden Critter. But since all critters are subject to a spawn cap, few new ones will spawn unless you are industrious about collecting all those "worthless" critters, increasing turnover.

Trivia

 * Birds placed in a Terrarium peck in ascending order, the Blue Jay once, the Bird twice, the Cardinal three times and the Gold Bird four times.
 * The Glowing Snail Cage emits a faint blue glow, similar to the one Jellyfish Necklace does when under water.
 * The gold bird resembles a blue jay.
