Wee MacTusk (also known as WeeTusk) is an aggressive Mob that spawns from Walrus Camps during Winter. He controls the Blue Hounds.

Wee MacTusk is defenseless without his father and the Hounds; if they are killed, he'll run back to the Walrus Camp and won't come out until they respawn. If the Hounds are alive, he will stay to command them.

Below is the number of hits it takes with each weapon to kill Wee MacTusk, for characters with no damage modifiers. The Weather Pain is not included due to the random nature of its projectile.

Brain.png Behavior

They're only active during daytime and, if not engaged, will return to their igloo at dusk. However, they can be forced out by attacking the sleeping Hounds. Although the Walrus Camp emits light at dark, the Hounds will attack anyone close by.

The group, being hostile towards almost any Mob, follows a nearby target; if one keeps walking away, they will not attack. When the leader, MacTusk, becomes hostile, he makes a slashing gesture, he then shoots and pursues the target, while Wee MacTusk commands the Hounds to attack. Both walruses will flee when approached.

Should MacTusk and Wee MacTusk die, the Hounds will attack freely until they respawn. If the Hounds are killed but MacTusk survives, he will come out the next day. Dead members respawn in 2.5 days.

Prototype.png Tips

  • Should one come across a dormant Walrus Camp, it would be prudent to set up defenses, such as Tooth Traps.

Placeholder.png Trivia

  • MacTusk N' Son was introduced in the A Winter's Tale update.
  • Both walruses share the same hunchback model as Pigs, Merms, and Bunnymen.
  • In the trailer for A Winter's Tale, Wee MacTusk also attacks the player.

Mosquito.png Bugs

  • MacTusk will become passive and return to his camp if chased outside of his wandering range, ignoring enemies.
  • In Don't Starve, WeeTusk won't drop Meat when killed because the wrong set of brackets is used in his loot table.
  • If the Walrus Camp is close to the shore, MacTusk may respawn and walk on the ocean, unable to get back on land. This bug also occurs to other mobs (such as Pigs and Wildbores) if their housing structure is too close to the ocean.
  • When the season changes, the group may be locked out of their camp, and therefore, be active outside of Winter.
