Lavae/Normal

"Why can't we be friends?"

- Willow

The Lavae is a mob added into the Reign of Giants official release of Don't Starve Together Beta. It has 500 health and spawns from the Dragonfly. Anything that comes into direct contact with or is next to a Lavae will burst into flames, including the player.

Killing the Lavae will leave ashes from its burnt drop, making it easier to get the dragonfly back to sleep. The lavae dies when it is frozen, dropping 1-5 rocks upon death. Freezing is the easiest way to kill Lavae. It takes three hits with the Ice Staff to be frozen.

Bugs

 * Lavae will lose interest in a player who travels through a worm hole, and will not reacquire a new target until attacked by a player again.
 * Lavae will not target AI even if attacked.
 * Lavae bug out campfires that they light, resulting in permanent fires until server restart.
 * A Debug-spawned Lavae will not attack the player and despawn after doing a backflip.
