Lavae/Extra-Adorable Lavae

"She's... perfect."

- Willow

The Extra-Adorable Lavae or Lavae is a follower added into the Reign of Giants official release of Don't Starve Together Beta. It has 250 health and can be hatched from the Lavae Egg. The Lavae will follow the tooth that dropped from the same egg as it spawned from. It will provide light, heat and allows food to be cooked on it, like a Campfire and Dwarf Star

Lavae eat Ashes and Charcoal and will starve if they don't eat enough. If a Lavae gets really hungry it will set things on fire on its own so it can eat, ignoring the player. Like Smallbirds, Lavae will starve to death if they can't find anything to eat, so it must be fed constantly.

If a Lavae is frozen it will turn into a rock and die after a while unless it is hit. It takes 3 hits from the Ice Staff to be frozen.

Tips

 * Lavae are very useful in winter as they are essentially walking campfires, though they produce less light.
 * The heat Lavae radiate is enough to set objects on fire, so caution is advised.

Trivia

 * The follower Lavae is smaller than the enemy Lavae.
 * The name Lavae is a portmanteau of lava, and the plural of larva (larvae), a juvenile stage of some insects.
