A Leaky Shack is a naturally occurring Structure found in a Marsh biome. It is similar to in appearance to a Pig House, but in a dilapidated state. Their main purpose is spawning and housing Merms. Leaky shacks can hold up to four Merms and spawn a Merm every four days if any Merms are killed. Typically only one Merm per Leaky Shack will be outside during the day. However, If that Merm engages in combat or if the house is struck with a Hammer, the rest of the Merms will emerge to help it fight. When Dusk comes, all Merms will leave their home to wander around in the vicinity.

Merms are aggressively territorial and will attack any non-Wurt players or followers that wander too close to their homes. This can be circumvented by wearing a Clever Disguise.

Deconstructing a Leaky Shack with a Hammer yields 1-2 Rocks, 1 Board, and 1 Freshwater Fish. They cannot be crafted by the player, making them non-renewable.

Trivia

• Before the release of Hamlet, Mermhouses were called Rundown Houses.
