The TRUE monsters of the world of Don't Starve? Interesting theory…Not just the Shadow Watchers, though - possibly ALL of the "hallucinations"?


 * lightbulb blinks on*

Every character in this game is insane (to some degree). The monsters that appear when you lose sanity in the world of Don't Starve control that world, and they obviously like drawing people into their world just for "shits and giggles" (I believe is the term). Either that, or they like to test humans against each other (hence Wilson replacing Maxwell on the Nightmare Throne after conquering all of Maxwell's challenges)…Either way, they play games with humans. They have to contact people in the real world in order to draw them in, though, and if they're "hallucinations", they can't make themselves known to completely sane people. THAT'S why everyone who gets drawn into the world of Don't Starve is insane - not because they're so crazy that they're imagining what's happening to them, but because they were crazy enough for the "hallucinations" to reach out to them.

In that case, though, what is "insanity"? The disorder of seeing things that aren't there, or the ability to see things that ARE there that others can't see?
