Maxwell's Head is an unimplemented feature. Its original purpose was to speak to the player while they go through Adventure Mode. Upon being spawned via the console, Maxwell's Head will say, "You forgot to set a speech", and then, "Go do it.", using Maxwell's speech sound files. Its spawn code is "maxwellhead". Unimplemented Adventure Mode speech lines for Maxwell's Head can be found in the game's strings.

Quotes

Archipelago

• "Fine. Just remember that you chose this."

Checkmate

• "We're not so different, you and I."
• "That's why I brought you here."
• "That's why I brought all of them here."
• "Oh, did you think you were the first?"
• "HA!"
• "It's just that..."
• "I've become accustomed to winning."

Shopkeeper

The Shopkeeper is an unimplemented feature that can be spawned using the console. It was intended to be an in-game vendor that players could buy recipes and resources from, but ultimately the concept was shelved because it "ruined the mood" of the game.

Clicking on the Shopkeeper will result in crashing the game. Its spawncode is "basic_shop", however, it was removed in the Reign of Giants DLC. There are textures for several different shops in the game files.

Pig Spotted

Found in Don't Starve beta files. Differs from Pig only in skin tone.

Snowman

The Snowman is an unimplemented, craftable mob originally planned as part of the winter update for Don't Starve. The first mention in game files dates back to February 26, 2013 with the release of the "A Winter's Tale" update. After about a year, it was completely removed from the game files. It would have been capable of throwing snowballs. It was later planned to be added to the game post launch.

Balloonicorn

The Balloonicorn is a creature found in the Don't Starve: Reign of Giants files. It stands on a par with things intended for the unimplemented character Pyro. It can be assumed that Balloonicorn would have followed a player holding a bitten-into version of the Lollichop. The model of this creature is very similar to the Chester model.

Clockwork Boats

The game's data contains art assets of mobs that resemble the Clockwork Bishop and Clockwork Rook, except with boats for bodies. Their animations reveal that they were meant to use the same attacks as their land equivalents. These are similar to how the Floaty Boaty Knight is the Shipwrecked DLC's equivalent of a Clockwork Knight.

It acts similar to Buzzards by circling the skies and swooping down to gather food, attacking the player if they try to steal it from them. It also uses the Buzzard's sounds. Character quotes imply that the Peep Hen may be related to the Peagawk.
