Chester

Chester (short for Otto von Chesterfield, Esquire) is a unique passive Mob that acts like a mobile chest. By clicking on Chester, the player can store items inside of him (9 slots). As long as the Eye Bone is in the player's inventory, Chester will follow. Chester is one of the few mobs that cannot be frozen.

Chester will spawn once the player finds the Eye Bone. If the eye bone is dropped onto the ground or stored somewhere (even inside Chester himself), he will stop following the player and remain in place. This is useful for keeping Сhester stationary. He will then sit and pant or sleep (if it is night) until the player takes the Eye Bone from Chester, or picks it up from the ground. Chester triggers Tooth Traps taking damage. Chester regenerates his health by 22.5 hp every 3 seconds. If Chester gets killed, he drops all of the items stored inside. And if he was burning at the moment all dropped flammable items will catch fire and burn to Ashes. After Chester dies he respawns in 1 game day wherever the eye bone happens to be. Krampus cannot steal from him.

Trivia

 * Chester can get hit by a lightning strike and ignited.
 * Chester can be killed with a weapon by the player (holding Ctrl).
 * When hitting Chester with a weapon, (holding Ctrl) the battle music will start playing as if Chester was a monster. (Possibly a bug)
 * When playing in adventure mode, Chester cannot be taken to the next area. Having the eyebone in your inventory will result in a pile ash that will not attract Chester in the next area resulting in any items that Chester had to be lost.
 * Abigail used to kill Chester just by bumping into him. This was removed in the Doorway to Adventure update.
 * Chester is possibly a reference to the Luggage from the Discworld series, wherein luggage is living and mobile
 * The term Esquire is a European title typically designated to practitioners of law and distinguished gentlemen.
 * When chester has died, the eye bone will be shown in the world with it's eye closed. It will not show with a closed eye in the hotbar or chests.

Bugs

 * It is possible for Chester to get stuck in a field of berry bushes. If this happens, he will not move until the player relocates the bushes.
