I was going through some stuff yesterday and I found some Don't Starve fan stuff from last year.

If memory serves me right, I was designing my own fan dlc/mod. I don't actually have the means to program this, I just like coming up with new mobs and stuff.

This dlc would be called Uberwald, and is based on the spooky forest trope and the country of Romania. It'd be similar to RoG in that there'd be a woodland setting, but you'd also get to explore snowcapped mountains, quaint villages, and creepy castle ruins.

So far I've come up with a few different passive creatures and a boss. There's the hedgefox, which I have two different designs of, woolly worms, which would spawn near paths and predict the weather, and bagworms, which can be harvested for their cocoons.

The first boss is a dragon based on and named after the Romanian Zmeu. After looking at this drawing again, I decided to replace his arms with wings so he can dive bomb the players. It'd be like if that giant bird from Hamlet was a boss instead of just kidnapping you.

I went back and colored the other drawings and gave Zmeu yellow eyes. I'm going to resume this little project and come up with more stuff.

Got any ideas? Feel free to share. I'm running a blank here, especially in regards to crafting recipes.

More DS: Uberwald stuff, plus a new character.

The creatures on the left drawing are as follows: dalmatian pelican, owl/cat, hamsterret, attempted unicorn, catfish, and bone grub.

The creature on the right is Nommer, a male of Glommer's species. Glommer is a girl, right? Anyways, Nommer is a bouncy little insanity preventative that can defend itself from monsters. You can summon Krampus by killing it, but it will chase you.

Inspiration comes from stag beetles and these nice wasps near the garage that haven't been aggressive towards me. They even let me walk in and out without any trouble.

This fella is Wilhelm. He's a modern day FBI agent who got sucked into The Constant after looking into some declassified cases from the early 1900s.

His skills include communication, making guns, subduing opponents, and stealth. I think he'd be able to make weapons, but he'd require gears and ammo.

Also, he'd probably lose sanity from killing innocent creatures or gain less sanity from killing nightmare creatures. I figure that shooting a pig villager or glommer would be against his morals.

This goat thing is a Shammy. They're like the beefalo of the mountains.

Lastly, this is another new boss: The Lichenthrope. It's like a Varg, but it lives in caves and relies more on physical attacks than calling hounds.

More DS: Uberwald mobs! I sketched some concept art for some small creatures and a couple bosses.

Going clockwise from the top on the top left drawing, there's a vole/mole, a tortoise, a horse, and a salamander.

The two snakes are a Rhino viper and a Javelin boa. I think the viper would be a bit more aggressive than the boa, but the boa probably does more damage when provoked.

The ferret/goose thing is a gremlin, I guess. It's a combination of a marten and a goose. Martens are small ferret things that apparently like to ruin electronics, and...well, have you seen Untitled Goose Game? Geese are creatures of mischief.

The antelope is a tapir/deer hybrid.

The boss on the left is the Leatherwing King. He's based on Count Dracula and serves as the leader of batilisks, vampire bats, and all kinds of vampiric monsters. I've been contemplating on the idea of a castle you can make a base in just like the houses in Hamlet, but it'd take a bit more work to get there. Maybe you can take over if you kill King Leatherwing?

Lastly is the currently unnamed lake monster boss. It dwells in a new water biome, where few who've encountered it ever return alive. There'll be loot aplenty if you can manage to kill it.

Well, I'm off to color these dudes in. Hopefully the colors look as good IRL as they do in my head.

I found more of my Don't Starve fanmade mobs and stuff. As you can see, I didn't think the game had enough dragons.

There's also a couple other mobs. I thought unicorns would fit well into the setting and made two new spiders. The jumper spider is a curious neutral mob, much like pogs except they don't eat your stuff, but they would probably wander into your base.

Lamphunters are based on an anecdote in the book Dracula about a giant spider that liked to drink lamp oil from this one cathedral. Compared to normal DS spiders, they're barely larger than average, but they have an affinity for gathering fire fuel and storing it in their lairs.

There's also some bagworm drawings. I remember that I gave them the ability to hide in their bags to avoid physical conflict. This would make traditional fighting difficult, but it makes me think of ranged weaponry.

I'm not sure if DS has much ranged weaponry, so this would be a nice addition to my DLC...which doesn't really exist outside of my fanart. Well, at least it'll look cool.
