Bernie is a Survival item in Don't Starve Together, exclusive to Willow. If Willow is insane while Bernie is on the ground, he will begin walking around. While active, Bernie will taunt nearby Shadow Creatures, causing them to target him. Bernie will only activate for Willow and only if she is not too far away. When Willow dies or leaves the server, Bernie will be dropped to the ground. Bernie can always be picked up, even when active.

Bernie has 1000 Health and will lose 1 durability for each 10 damage dealt to him. When Bernie's durability drops to 0%, he will stop attracting Shadow Creatures. His appearance and icon change to reflect that he is "dead", and examining him will provide a different quote. Using a Sewing Kit on Bernie will restore him to 100% durability.

If Bernie is left inactive or dead on the ground for a total of 3 days, he will disintegrate, dropping Beard Hair, Beefalo Wool, and Silk. Picking him up does not reset the decay.

Trivia

 * Bernie's name is also a double-entendre, as it can be interpreted as "burny".
 * Bernie's crafting description, "A familiar face in this mad world," may be a reference to Mad World by Gary Jules, in which one of the lyrics quote, "All around me are familiar faces".
