Bernie is a Survival item/mob in Don't Starve Together, which can only be crafted by Willow, but can be used by any character. If a character is insane while Bernie is on the ground, he will begin walking around. While active, Bernie will "taunt" nearby Shadow Creatures, causing them to target him. Bernie can always be picked up, even when active.

Bernie has 1000 Health and will lose 1 durability for each 10 damage dealt to him. When Bernie's durability drops to 0%, he will stop attracting Shadow Creatures. His appearance and icon change to reflect that he is "dead", and examining him will provide a different quote. Using a Sewing Kit on Bernie will restore him to 100% durability.

If Bernie is left dead on the ground for a total of 3 days, he will disintegrate, dropping Beard Hair, Beefalo Wool, and Silk. Picking him up does not reset the decay.

The Forge Edit

“He might make a good distraction for us.”

–Wilson, in their unimplemented quote for Bernie in The Forge.

“You're always there for me, Bernie.”

–Willow, in their unimplemented quote for Bernie in The Forge.

“Nice little creepy bear.”

–Wolfgang, in their unimplemented quote for Bernie in The Forge.

“How do you do, Bernie?”

–Wendy, in their unimplemented quote for Bernie in The Forge.

“I WILL USE THIS BEAR TO SHIELD ME”

–WX-78, in their unimplemented quote for Bernie in The Forge.

“Fascinating. It is animated, even here.”

–Wickerbottom, in their unimplemented quote for Bernie in The Forge.

“Hey there little fella.”

–Woodie, in their unimplemented quote for Bernie in The Forge.

“That thing's still shambling about, I see.”

–Maxwell, in their unimplemented quote for Bernie in The Forge.

“The call öf battle has arisen in thee!”

–Wigfrid, in their unimplemented quote for Bernie in The Forge.

“Oh! Willow brought Bernie!”

–Webber, in their unimplemented quote for Bernie in The Forge.

“You here to help, lil fella?”

–Winona, in their unimplemented quote for Bernie in The Forge.

In The Forge event, Bernie plays the same role as he does in the main game, drawing aggro from mobs while not returning fire. When Bernie loses all his health, all monsters will stop attacking and wander to the nearest player. Willow is able to revive Bernie in three seconds for him to start drawing aggro again.

Trivia Edit

• Bernie's name is a pun of the word "burny."
• Bernie's crafting description, "A familiar face in this mad world," may be a reference to the song Mad World by Tears for Fears (covered by Gary Jules), in which one of the lyrics quote, "All around me are familiar faces".
• Characters have a different quote for Bernie in the Forge, but possibly due to the fact that Bernie has multiple states and corresponding quotes attached to him, the normal quotes were triggered instead when examining Bernie.
