The Cookie Cutter is a Mob exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in Return of Them. They can be found in the Ocean around Salt Formations. When killed, they drop 1 Monster Meat and have a 50% chance to drop a Cookie Cutter Shell, and 25% chance to drop one extra.

They slowly swim up to Boats, jump on it and drill a hole in 3 seconds, resulting in a boat leak that drains 1 /s.

They are neutral towards the player. If attacked, they will fight back, delaying the drilling process during the time of the fight. If they are killed before the end of the drilling, no leak is formed.

When a Cookie Cutter sees a boat nearby, it alerts other Cookie Cutters nearby itself, causing those Cookie Cutters to swim towards the boat as a group.

After drilling they go back into the water and stay neutral for 30 seconds. They take 90 seconds to respawn.

They will feed on any edible Wood item left in the water, leaping out of the water and eating one item per jump. They seem to prioritize items left in the water over boats.

It is possible to dispatch Cookie Cutters without risking damage to one's boat by luring them away from the Salt Formations and into deeper water where they will drop out of sight and no longer pose a threat.

Fighting Strategy

Below is the number of hits it takes with each weapon to kill a Cookie Cutter when playing with characters with a default damage modifier. The Weather Pain, Brightshade Staff, and Bee Mine are not included due to their random natures. This table does not take into account the damage bonus gained from characters with a lunar or shadow affinity. It also does not take into account the 40% damage bonus Wendy gets from attacking the same mob as Abigail, Wanda's damage bonus with Shadow weapons (except for the Alarming Clock, which does accurately reflect that bonus), or Wolfgang's damage multiplier when he isn't mighty.

Cookie Cutter is immune to being frozen, and it is immune to being put to sleep.

Trivia

• Cookie Cutters were introduced in the Salty Dog update.
• Their name and their "drilling bite" are inspired by the cookiecutter shark, which itself was first discovered due to causing damage to U.S. submarines with their bite.
• Their name and behavior of eating boats is also likely a reference to the way boats in Don't Starve Together somewhat resemble cookies, being large discs with irregular brown patterning
• Cookie Cutters are the only creatures that can eat Wood in Don't Starve Together.
• They will get lured by Hardwood Hat and Log Suit but will not eat them.
