–Zoidberg
NyctoDarkMatter (also known as .NYCTO. NyctoDarkMatter) is a neutral Player in Don't Starve Together. He usually takes the appearance of either Wilson or Zoidberg. He drops his inventory on death; in addition, if he is Zoidberg, he will also drop his flammable Slinky, which will probably set the rest of his items on fire, making killing him useless.
NyctoDarkMatter can be found on servers that he hosts. Very rarely, he can also be found roaming public servers. This chance is entirely random.
NyctoDarkMatter is very dangerous if found in Zoidberg form, as his claws deal 59.5 damage, which is the equivalent to a Thulecite Club. He is even more dangerous in the rain, as his Health and Sanity both regenerate while it is raining. When attacked, he will attempt to kite the attacker, only relentlessly attacking if they are weak and low on Health.
Behavior
NyctoDarkMatter wanders during all seasons, but is found closer to a base during Winter and Spring. He can often be found near the Dragonfly during Summer, attempting to kill it along with a few other players.
NyctoDarkMatter will usually brandish some sort of ranged weapon, removing it only when close to the opponent.
He is usually being followed by Chester.
Editing
NyctoDarkMatter primarily edits pages on the wiki that aren't formatted correctly. However, anything that isn't correct or needs justification he may check in the code of Don't Starve.
In Don't Starve: Shipwrecked, he is continually adding new information and helping the wiki keep up to date with info as the DLC releases its updates.
His favorite picture on the wiki is the image of the Doydoy that he reassembled from the atlas.tex file.
Hunting
There is currently no known process to hunt NyctoDarkMatter other than simply fighting him fairly. He usually carries different Items each time he is fought, making it somewhat complicated to develop a strategy to killing him.
A quick strategy that may succeed is to lead any number of Monsters to him, specifically Giants, Treeguards, or a Varg. This can be risky, however, as if he succeeds in killing the Monster, he will take the loot for himself and hunt the attacker instead.
Another dangerous strategy involves a Torch and some Ice or Hail. If NyctoDarkMatter is located, waiting until night and extinguishing his Fire with the Ice will almost always lead to the Night Monster killing him, as he does not usually carry a Torch around. Note that as soon as you extinguish his fire, the player will want to get away from him and equip their own Torch right before the Night Monster attacks the player. Failure to do so can result in him either chasing the attacker with their own light and living, or can result in the Night Monster attacking the player before they re-equip their torch, dealing a lot of damage and possibly killing them. Note that this strategy will only work before the last wedge of night.
Below is the number of hits it takes with each weapon to kill NyctoDarkMatter when playing with characters with a default damage modifier. Note that NyctoDarkMatter must not be wearing any Armor for this to apply. The Weather Pain is not included due to the random nature of its projectile.
