Mumsy is a Mob exclusive to the The Gorge event in Don't Starve Together and the first character encountered when entering The Gorge world. She instructs players to start cooking to appease The Gnaw and gives them 10 Old Coins with which they can purchase cooking items from herself, her son Billy, Pipton, and Sammy. Players cannot buy from anyone else until interacting with her. She will also inform players of the Gnaw's current craving as well as how the Gnaw liked the food after it was snackrificed.

Trading

Mumsy sells the following cooking items:

×6

"Everything you need to set up a cookpot."

×6

"Everything you need to set up an oven."

×6

"Everything you need to set up a grill."

"High class plating for improved dishes."

"Presentation is half the taste."

"Fresh from the source."

"The way out. I can charge it with Favors."

Anything bought by Wes costs one less Old Coin or Sapphire Medallion, except for items bought with Red Marks or Gnaw's Favors. The Favors are required to charge the key instead of buying it.

Quotes

Note: For Mumsy's Gnaw craving hints, lines from part 1 and part 2 are randomly matched to one another, but a part 2 is only chosen if the part 1 has a space for it. The craving itself changes depending on how much progress the player has made in the round.

Trivia

• Mumsy appears to be partially mermified herself, as shown by the scales on her lower body.
• She was originally conceived as a deer, as revealed in Rhymes with Play #201.
• She is based on Amalthea, foster-mother to Zeus, who was sometimes depicted as a goat.
  • Mumsy's concept art also notes Capricorn as an influence, which is a Zodiac sign represented by a creature with the head and torso of a goat and the tail of a fish. This is possibly referenced in Mumsy's mermified appearance.
