Reign of Runts

The 4 iconic Don't Starve: Reign of Giants bosses reimagined.
They're looking a little smaller than usual...?

"Reign of Runts" is a 4 character mod that takes the classic RoG bosses: Deerclops, Bearger, Moose/Goose, and Dragonfly and turns them into Wilson-sized playable characters ripe with perks and personalities!




"With clomps ringing in the cold winter night, a loud crash echoes throughout the forest. Deerclops will leave no structure unscathed."

Deerclops's Skill Tree

•Packs an icy punch
•Has an aptitude for structure destructure
•With an increasing itch to destroy
•At home in the cold, but not the heat

~ *Adds coldness and can freeze enemies while attacking. During Winter this becomes an AoE
~ Can destroy structures & rocks without an item equipped, hammers faster than others
~ Gets a *small amount of sanity while destroying free-hand, or with a hammer.
- Amount of sanity gained may differ depending on the size of a structure
- If you go too long without destroying a structure your sanity will start to drain, starting at *2 days. The longer without, the higher amount of sanity drained

~ *Immune to the cold and will passively get colder
- Overheats *much sooner, takes increased fire damage
~ Overheating damage is increased by *30%, Freezing damage is reduced by *80%
~ Won't lose sanity from a Deerclops, won't slip on ice

"Bearger is a simple, gluttonous beast whose only goal is to feed and sleep throughout the frigid seasons."

Bearger's Skill Tree

•"Hibearnates" in chilly weather
•Bears an angry stomp
•And a hankering hunger for honey

~ Using RMB, Bearger can slam the ground doing additional AoE *damage, with double damage if close
- Ground pound affects trees, *plants, and *stumps, doesn't affect structures or flying creatures
- Hunger drains *20% faster
~ Gets additional sanity from Honey foods, takes *50% less damage from bees, and will *occasionally drop a fur tuft
- Will wake up groggy from naturally sleeping

~ During Winter and Spring Bearger will go into "Hibearnation" mode
During "Hibearnation":
Hunger doesn't drain 20% faster, small winter insulation, small damage absorption (*20%)
Will occasionally yawn instead of doing a ground pound, taking some hunger
If hunger is fuller than 50% Bearger's max hp is set to 200 and winter insulation increased. Likewise, if it's below 50% it'll be set to normal until changed

"It's a lovely morning in the constant, and you are a motherly moose. ...and goose."

Moose/Goose's Skill Tree

•Can form a feisty whirlwind
•Enjoys walks on the ocean
•Has a tendency of getting wet feathers
•Aspiring nester

~ *Can use RMB to do a spin dash for a boost. It'll do damage in AoE for the duration (Around 3 seconds). *Includes trees & rocks
- The spin will cause grogginess after doing so. Cannot spin while groggy. *10% chance for lightning to strike while spinning
~ While attacking, has a *10% chance to unleash a loud Honk that confuses some mobs in a small radius
- *Refuses to eat Eggs and Egg-based foods

~*Aspiring Nester: Can build the "Motherly Nesting", a nest only she can place
It will provide a passive sanity gain and a *25% defense bonus for all within its AoE, but only when a Moose/Goose is in it
Any Moose/Goose in its AoE will drain hunger quicker
She can place a Tallbird Egg in the nest that will allow the buff to persist within its AoE if she's not near it
Needs attending! Will collapse within *7 days if proper attention isn't given (With fuel items like twigs). Can be dug up, but will collapse if its durability isn't high

~ Is able to run on the ocean, but Wetness will quickly fill up as you're on it. Protective gear or fire won't stop it
- If you're over *100% Wetness you'll drown. Can't walk on water again until below that
- Wetness naturally fills *60% faster
~ *Increased lightning attraction, lightning heals instead of damages. When Spring ends she molts a few feathers
~ The Moose/Goose and Mosslings will be more passive
