Wortox (Don't Starve Together)
Unlocking
Wortox is a DLC character, who must be woven using spools or purchased in the shop.
Perks
- When a creature or player dies within 20 units of Wortox, they will drop a Soul – Webber will drop two Souls, WX-78 drops none, and Giants will drop 7-8. Souls vanish after 10 seconds, but can be picked up by Wortox. Souls have four uses:
- They can be eaten, restoring +25
but costing -5
.
- They can be released to heal Wortox and nearby allies in a AOE, and give Wortox small amount of sanity.
- They can be used to "Soul Hop" (teleport) a short distance away, functioning identically to The Lazy Explorer, before going on cooldown. Wortox can teleport twice in a row between cooldowns, if he is quick enough.
- They can be used to teleport to any explored location on the map, costing up to 20 depending on distance.
- They can be eaten, restoring +25
- Negative Sanity effects from monsters are 0.5x effective on Wortox.
- Wortox's favourite food are Pomegranates, raw and cooked, which restore an additional +15
than usual. However, his food penalty still applies to them.
Disadvantages
- Wortox's body craves Souls above all else, reducing the effects of other Foods by 0.5x; This applies to both positive and negative effects, however, meaning that Wortox loses less Health and/or Sanity from consuming foods like raw Meat.
- Wortox can only hold up to 20 Souls, stating when he is nearly at his limit. If Wortox collects any more Souls, he will drop 10
- Since Wortox is a demon, Pigs, Catcoons, and Bunnymen are hostile towards him and will attack on sight.

The Scales
Wortox's Skill Tree uses a unique Scales system that will significantly impact his playstyle. Choosing a skill on one side of the scale tips it towards that inclination. Once enough points are put into a side, Wortox will get his inclination changed. Choosing an affinity skews the scales, and both inclinations get a point applied to them.
Nice
When Nice inclined, Wortox will no longer be seen as a monster by mobs, and they will be neutral to him as a result. Each Soul released will now restore +5 to Wortox, while eating one takes away -10
.
Below is a list of skills on the Nice branch.
Neutral
Neutral skills do not impact The Scales in any way, but will contribute towards unlocking Lifebringer III, Soul Bastion I and Soul Pierce I.

Naughty
When Naughty inclined, Wortox will be able to hold in a Soul Overload for a couple of seconds before eventually losing half of them. This gives Wortox a brief window to release Souls before it happens. Eating or releasing Souls will no longer affect his Sanity. Souls will also heal Wortox for 25% less but will still heal other Survivors to its fullest potential.

Tips
- To easily farm Souls, players can keep a few Flowers around their base and kill the Butterflies that spawn.
- This method also allows the player to easily regain sanity by catching, planting, and picking Butterflies.
- Other easy moveable mob spawners are spidernests & beehives.
- Because he's invincible while Soul Hopping, Wortox can use his Soul Hop ability to easily kite large mobs such as Deerclops and Bearger. Players can simply attack until the opponent is about to attack back, then Soul Hop while the enemy is attacking.
- Wortox can release Souls he has captured after a fight to heal himself and his allies.
- Wortox can be extremely powerful when paired with a Wickerbottom, as reading Birds of the World and Sleepytime Stories in quick succession can result in many Souls captured.
- He also works well with a Wolfgang, as Wolfgang can easily destroy enemies for souls and Wortox can leave all of the physical food for Wolfgang.
- In a PvP server, killing a Wortox will result in all of his Souls being released.
- This can used to the player's personal advantage, targeting Wortox so they can heal themselves after he is killed.
- Wortox's favorite food is both raw and cooked Pomegranate, meaning he gains 2.8125 / 1.25 bonus
when consuming the food despite his usual aversion to normal foods.
