Exclusive to:

“Hyuyu! It looks tasty.”

–Wortox

“Wortox can eat these to restore 25 Hunger and lose 5 Sanity.

They can be released to heal all survivors nearby, max healing is 20 health which drops 2 points for each extra survivor to a minimum of 5 health.

He can also spend Souls to Soul Hop which teleports him.

If Wortox holds more than 20 Souls, he will release half of them and lose 20 Sanity.”

A Soul is an item exclusive to Wortox in Don't Starve Together. It spawns when a mob or other player dies within 20 units of Wortox. It will flow to Wortox when he is within 8 units of the Soul. If it is not collected within 10 seconds, it will disappear.

They can be consumed by Wortox for 25 at the cost of 5 . When released, the Soul will heal Wortox and allies within 8 units, alongside restoring 2.5 for every Wortox within range. The healing amount scales depending on the amount of allies nearby. The maximum is 20 , and the minimum is 5 . Each additional player decreases the value by 2, until the minimum is reached.

Wortox can spend one Soul to be able to Soul Hop, or teleport, a short distance. This works the same way as the Lazy Explorer, except it does not cost any Sanity. When Soul Hopping twice in a short time span, called "Soul Echo", the second one will not cost another Soul. At the cost of Souls, Wortox can also right-click anywhere on the Map to teleport to that space, if it has already been explored. The cost of the teleport is equivalent to the amount of Soul Hops and Soul Echoes required to get there manually, and is indicated by a text below the cursor. Wortox can carry Heavy Items, but while doing so Soul Hops will cost double, and he will be unable to utilize Soul Echoes.

If Wortox tries to hold more than 20 Souls at once, he will drop half of them and lose 20 . He gives warnings about holding too many Souls before it happens. The dropped Souls will heal Wortox and the allies next to him. It is not possible to store Souls in any container or Backpack to avoid this. If it is attempted, it will make the same sound as if it was rejected in a Crock Pot. Other characters cannot hold Souls, and they cannot inspect them.

The following is a table showing how many Souls that Mobs can drop:

Mob	Amount of Souls
WX-78, all Clockwork Mobs, Shadow Creatures, Shadow Pieces, Shadow Puppets, Lureplant, Baby Tentacles, Bernie (all forms)	None
Most Mobs and characters excluding WX-78 and Webber	1
Webber	2
Boss Monsters (Deerclops, Bearger, Moose/Goose, Dragonfly, etc.)	7-8

Soul Echo

The Soul Echo is a 5 second timer that activates after using a Soul for a Soul Hop (teleport). It does not appear if Wortox is carrying a Heavy Item. After the timer ends, Wortox will lose that one soul that was used to teleport. That means that if Wortox used last soul for Soul Hop, he can use the same soul to eat it or to consume it. If the Soul Echo didn't end, Wortox can use the Soul Hop again for free and the Soul Echo will immediately end.

Trivia

• The icon for Souls is similar in shape to that of Nightmare Fuel.
• WX-78 will not drop any soul, as they have none.
• Webber will drop two souls, implying the boy and the spider he's composed of remain two separate entities.
  • This is mentioned by Wortox in his unused quote for Webber's Skull: "Hm. There's two souls wedged inside."

Bugs

• On Console, characters other than Wortox can pick up and inspect Souls using their default quote for items that they have no string for ("It's a... thing."). In other characters' inventories, Souls can stack to 40.
