Catcoon

"A playful little thing."

- Wilson

The Catcoon is an animal in the Reign of Giants DLC, spawning from a Hollow Stump. It will wander around, pouncing at trees and digging at various objects, sometimes destroying them. When it sees a small Bird, Rabbit, Moleworm, Butterfly, or Bee, it will pounce on it and kill it. Catcoons are aggressive towards Pengulls and will attack them if they get close enough. This generally leads to the Catcoon being killed, as all nearby Pengulls will retaliate against the Catcoon. Catcoons will also attack a Glommer, even if players have befriended them, so caution should be taken.

Catcoons can be befriended by giving them food or "toys", and they will give "gifts" to the player by coughing up items such as Rot and Cut Grass as if it's a hairball. Each item given to the Catcoon will add a third of a day (160 sec) to the time they spend following the player (up to a maximum of 2.5 days ) and halve the time between hairballs. The item that they give depends on the number of times they hack before coughing it up. Currently, there are two lists for neutral and friendly Catcoons.

When killed, a Catcoon will drop Meat and has a 33% chance of dropping a Cat Tail.

Catcoons are hostile to Webber.

Trivia

 * Catcoon is a portmanteau of "Cat" and "Raccoon".
 * Catcoons spawning a total of 9 times is a reference to the belief that cats have 9 lives.
