–Wurt


Living Logs are Items dropped by deceased Treeguards. They can also be obtained by chopping down Totally Normal Trees, the stump of Totally Normal Tree can be dug for another Living Log.
They are used to craft several magic items, including a Shadow Manipulator, and can also be used as fuel for a Fire. Living Logs will scream when burned on a fire and when eaten by the Werebeaver form of Woodie, though this has no effect on gameplay.

Tips[]
- In regular Don't Starve, Woodie in Werebeaver form can quickly obtain Living Logs. The Werebeaver can quickly destroy a lot of Trees, which will likely spawn Treeguards. Its powerful attacks and its ability to quickly heal by eating Logs allows the Treeguards to be dispatched with relative ease.
Trivia[]
- The Living Log's scream was added in the The End of the Beginning update.
