Wortox (Don't Starve Together)

Wortox has a character-exclusive item, the Soul. When Mobs or fellow players (besides WX-78) die within 20 units of him, Souls will be spawned. Souls will immediately flow to Wortox when he is within 8 units of the Soul. If it is not collected within 10 seconds, it will disappear. Most Mobs will drop one Soul. Notably, Webber will drop two Souls and WX-78 does not drop any Souls. Boss Monsters will drop seven to eight Souls. If Wortox gets the killing blow on a monster he is guaranteed at least one soul, even if another Wortox is close by. At least one inventory space can be occupied with a maximum of 20 Souls. Wortox can eat Souls to restore 25 
, but at the cost of 5 
. He can release Souls to heal himself or nearby allies. Injured players standing within 8 units of the Soul's release will receive healing, however the amount of healing is decreased by 2 for each additional player healed, starting at 20 
and reducing to a minimum of 5 , while always giving Wortox 2.5 . He can also spend one Soul to be able to Soul Hop, or teleport, a short distance. This functions in the same manner as The Lazy Explorer, except it does not cost any Sanity. He can soul hop again once for free if done within a short enough time from the last, indicated by a cooldown timer. He can also soul hop to any explored location on the map, with cost increasing with distance up to a maximum of 20. Wortox will lose 50% less Sanity when being near Monsters like Spiders, Hounds, Tentacles, etc.
Disadvantage
Wortox's body craves Souls. This cuts the hunger, health, and sanity gain from regular food by half. Negative effects from food will also be halved. For example, raw Meat will cause him to lose 5 instead of 10. Wortox will drop half of his Soul inventory and lose 20 when he tries to hold more than 20 Souls. When he receives his 17-18th soul, Wortox will say "I've enough souls to sustain me." or "I hope I was not too greedy." to indicate the player is reaching the soul limit. He cannot store Souls in external storage (such as a Chest or Backpack), nor can any other character hold Souls. Pigs, Catcoons and Bunnymen are hostile to him and cannot be befriended, like Webber. Unlike Webber, Spiders will also be hostile to him.
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.
