Wilbur's second advantage is that the Prime Apes considering him as a friend. While they will not aid him in battle without making them followers with Bananas, they will also avoid their typical harassment, such as rushing to pick up harvested items. In addition, since they are friendly, they will continue their helpful actions, such as picking [[Grass Tuft]]s and [[Sapling]]s and tossing the harvested items to him. While same effects can be achieved for a limited time by other characters by feeding a Banana to a Prime Ape, Wilbur can enjoy the benefits without having to find Bananas or periodically feeding Prime Apes, which is especially helpful early in the game. It should be noted that the friendly Prime Apes will still pick up or harvest any [[food]] they can eat, including [[vegetables]] and [[fruits]] grown on [[Farm]]s built by the player. |

| − | Wilbur's ability to produce Manure every few days is also a minor advantage, allowing access to Farms and easy fertilization without having to find Prime Apes, [[Water Beefalo]]s or [[Wildbore]]s, which may be hard to come by in some [[world]]s. Wilbur can also equip a stack of Manure and use it as a ranged weapon. Each throw will remove a single Manure from the stack. Thrown Manure will travel through a parabolic path, unlike Prime Apes' more direct Manure throw, and will land on the target after a delay. When it hits the ground or water, it will deal 10 damage to all nearby [[Mobs]]. Thrown Manure is destroyed and cannot be recovered. Hitting a bird with Manure will stun it allowing it to be captured alive. |

–Wilbur
Wilbur is an unlockable character in Don't Starve: Shipwrecked DLC. He is a monkey and is considered to be the king of monkeys.
Wilbur has 125 maximum health, 175 maximum hunger, and 150 maximum sanity. All Prime Apes are considered as permanently befriended to Wilbur and will not harass him. He starts running when continuously moving for 3 seconds. Wilbur will automatically produce and drop Manure once about every 2-5 days. Wilbur gains 10 sanity when eating Bananas (including cooked version, but excluding Banana Pop).
Unlocking
Main article: Tarnished Crown
Wilbur is unlocked by finding him on a Raft in the Ocean and returning his Tarnished Crown to him. The crown has a 10% chance to drop when any Prime Apes die or any Prime Ape Hut is destroyed.
Special Power
Wilbur's main advantage is his ability to run. This ability is triggered by walking without stopping for 3 seconds, at which point he will start to run. While running his speed is increased by 2 (to 8 without additional modifiers), which is 33% faster compared to other characters' 6 speed value. This ability provides a significant advantage for getting out of situations that would otherwise overwhelm players, and allow him to explore faster on land.
Wilbur's second advantage is that the Prime Apes considering him as a friend. While they will not aid him in battle without making them followers with Bananas, they will also avoid their typical harassment, such as rushing to pick up harvested items. In addition, since they are friendly, they will continue their helpful actions, such as picking Grass Tufts and Saplings and tossing the harvested items to him. While same effects can be achieved for a limited time by other characters by feeding a Banana to a Prime Ape, Wilbur can enjoy the benefits without having to find Bananas or periodically feeding Prime Apes, which is especially helpful early in the game. It should be noted that the friendly Prime Apes will still pick up or harvest any food they can eat, including vegetables and fruits grown on Farms built by the player.
Wilbur's ability to produce Manure every few days is also a minor advantage, allowing access to Farms and easy fertilization without having to find Prime Apes, Water Beefalos or Wildbores, which may be hard to come by in some worlds. Wilbur can also equip a stack of Manure and use it as a ranged weapon. Each throw will remove a single Manure from the stack. Thrown Manure will travel through a parabolic path, unlike Prime Apes' more direct Manure throw, and will land on the target after a delay. When it hits the ground or water, it will deal 10 damage to all nearby Mobs. Thrown Manure is destroyed and cannot be recovered. Hitting a bird with Manure will stun it, allowing it to be captured alive.
Disadvantage
Most apparent disadvantage of Wilbur is his inability to speak. This makes it difficult to get announcements about incoming dangers, such as Volcano eruptions and Hound attacks, making it harder to prepare for them. Players will need to pay attention to other cues to get these warnings while using Wilbur.
While Wilbur can move faster than other characters while running, he is also slower while not running, with a speed penalty of -0.5 (5.5 total speed without additional modifiers, which is about 8.3% slower compared to other characters). This puts him at a disadvantage when frequent stops are made while moving, since he needs 3 seconds of movement before starting to run. While running, his hunger will drain 33% faster, so the speed boost comes at a price.
Tips
- Despite low damage and delayed hit mechanic, throwing manure can be useful to aggro Mobs that typically run away from the player (e.g. Koalefant), to capture live Birds or to finish off immobilized Mobs.
Trivia
- Wilbur is voiced by a barrel organ.
- Wilbur was introduced in the Shipwrecked update Wilbur vs. The Volcano.
- Wilbur was added in the year of the monkey.
- Wilbur used to be on the Unimplemented/Speculated Characters page.
Bugs
- When Wilbur examines a Wall, he will do one of the Wilbur quotes, and the words "I think I can fix this!" under it, if the wall is in need of fixing.
