Kitcoons are a mob in Don't Starve Together based on Catcoons. The name is a portmanteau of Kitty and Catcoon, latter of which itself is a portmanteau of Cat and Racoon.

Initially, Kitcoons hide behind almost any object spawned in the biomes corresponding to the specific Kitcoon. They can be discovered by their tail wagging behind the object they are hiding under. Some objects, such as twigs, are easier to find a hidden Kitcoon. Additionally, any entity with Kitcoons hiding will have an "investigate" command when hovered over. Interacting with the object (such as picking the grass, mining the boulder, or burning the tree) will also reveal the Kitcoon.

Kitcoons behave similar to Critters by trailing behind a specific player and they are invincible companions. Unlike other critters, there isn't a limit on how many Kitcoons can follow a player.

Initially, the Kitcoons will follow the player who found it; however, Kitcoons will stop following the player if the player dies, leaves the server, or enters the caves. Any neutral Kitcoon will around they were abandoned at and can be bound to another player that pets them. In fact, Kitcoons will start following any player that pets them even if they are already bound to another player. As such, players can adopt any of the 9 Kitcoons at any time by simply petting them. Similarly, a player can choose to unbind the Kitcoons following them anytime by right-clicking on Kitcoons to abandon them. If the player is close to a Kitcoon Nursery, the "abandon" option will be replaced by the "send home" option, and the Kitcoon will stay around the nursery. They won't go far away from the nursery and will interact with each other or the toys around a nursery.

Finding Kitcoons

Kitcoons are hidden in different Biomes across the Constant, they can be found in the Grasslands, Savanna, Deciduous Forest, Desert, forest, Marsh, Mosaic and on the Lunar Island. They will be hidden behind objects such as trees, saplings, rocks, etc. and their tail will be sticking out from behind whatever they are hiding behind.

The easiest way to locate Kitcoons is to summon and follow a Ticoon. Ticoons can be summoned from an active Catcoon Shrine for 1 Lucky Gold Nugget. In order to get the initial gold nugget to hire the first Ticoon, players may befriend regular catcoon by visiting a Deciduous Forest biome, who pukes a sack of single gold nugget in addition to the regular paraphernalia they puke outside of the event.

There are 9 Kitcoons in total, 8 of which can be found in the biomes listed below. Once all of the Kitcoons are found and sent to the Kitcoon Nursery, the final Kitcoon will appear next to the player.

The Kitcoon Nursery Kit can be placed to create the Kitcoon Nursery structure. The Kitcoon Nursery is where Kitcoons can be returned after the player has found them. When standing near the Nursery, a "Send Home" option will appear while hovering the mouse over any Kitcoons that currently following the player. Sending a Kitcoon home will cause them to be attached to that Nursery, and they will stay wandering within a certain short range of that Nursery. A player can hover over a Kitcoon which is at home and select the option to "Pet" it, which will cause the Kitcoon to begin following that specific player.

Players can click Kitcoon Nursery to play Hide and Seek mini game with Kitcoons.

Hide and Seek

When there are 3 or more Kitcoons are stayed around a Nursery, the player can click on the Nursery to start the game Hide and Seek. Each Nursery can play one game per day.

To be able to play the game, within 1 to 7.5 tiles radius, there must be hiding places for 5 times the number of Kitcoons in Nursery. Available hiding places includes Structures, Plants, Boulders, Flowers, Caps, etc.

The player has to find all the Kitcoons before time runs out. When time is over, they will be rewarded with Red Pouchs based on how many Kitcoons they found. Finding all 9 Kitcoons will drop Large Red Pouch.

When Event is Over

When not in Year of the Catcoon, the drops will be as following:

Chance	Drops
13.5%
4.1%
2.7%
1.4%

Trivia

• Kitcoons found will follow the player until they are either abandoned or sent home to a Kitcoon Nursery, though they seem similar to Critters in the fact that they avoid any combat and do not take damage. They are slightly smaller than Critters in appearance, and can follow the player in addition to a Critter.
