A Moongleam is an item exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in Return of Them. They will randomly form and float around inside Moonstorms in a similar manner to Spores and can similarly be caught with a Bug Net.

Floating Moongleams will crackle every 5-15 seconds, dealing 10 electric damage to players and mobs, which is affected by wetness. The Astroggles in the radius, whether equipped, in inventory or on the floor, are recharged by 10% with each crackle.

When there are more than 10 Moongleams on the floor within a radius of 5 tiles, they will be deleted within 30 seconds.

It takes 15 Moongleams in total to complete the Lunar Siphonator and summon the Celestial Champion. Five Moongleams are needed to build the first stage of the Lunar Siphonator, and an additional ten are required to complete the second stage.

Moongleams can be used to force the Unnatural Portal in the Moon Quay Island to generate items.

Tips

• Storing Moongleams in an Insulated Pack allows them to last for longer than an in-game year. This is useful if the player wishes to stockpile them for multiple Celestial Champion fights or all-at-once Unnatural Portal farming, without having to deal with catching them again after opening a Bundling Wrap.
• The lightning damage of Moongleams can be avoided by wearing lightning proof clothes such as Rain Coat.
• The Moongleams deal electric damage, which can charge the Volt Goat.
• Old Wilson's quote was: "It makes my teeth feel weird."

Trivia

• The Moongleam was introduced in the Eye of the Storm update.
