Year of the Gobbler is an event in Don't Starve Together, introduced in A New Reign. It is inspired by the Chinese Year of the Rooster, starting from 28th January 2017 until February 15th, 2018. In the Chinese zodiac each year is related to an animal in a 12 year cycle.
During this event, the Clucky Winter Hat Skin will be given upon opening the game.
Gobbler Shrine
The Gobbler Shrine is a craftable Structure located in the Structures Tab, and requires 8 Gold Nuggets and 2 Boards to craft. It is always available to craft and does not require prototyping. Offering a Berry Bush to the Gobbler Shrine will grant the players access to the Offerings Tab where they are able to acquire several items specific to the event using Lucky Gold Nuggets.
If the Gobbler Shrine is destroyed by Hammering it, it will drop any Berry Bush planted in it along with its resources. Gobbler Shrines are also flammable.

Lucky Gold Nuggets can be obtained from Red Pouches dropped by Gobblers. They are used to acquire items from the Offerings Tab.
Offerings Tab
Main article: Offerings Tab
The following items can be obtained from the Offerings Tab, each of them having a different function. They cannot be prototyped, so the players always have to stand next to a Gobbler Shrine in order to craft them, similar to how the Ancient Pseudoscience Station works.
Red Firecrackers
Three Firecrackers can be acquired in exchange for 1 Lucky Gold Nugget at the Gobbler Shrine. They can be set on fire with a Torch or Lighter to produce sparkles, and will be destroyed in the process. When set off, nearby Hounds will cower in fear, giving the Firecrackers a use apart from the festivities.
Red Lantern
Red Lanterns can be acquired in exchange for 3 Lucky Gold Nuggets at the Gobbler Shrine and can be equipped in the hand slot. They do not produce as much light as regular Lanterns, but have a higher durability.
Lucky Fan
The Lucky Fan can be acquired in exchange for 3 Lucky Gold Nuggets at the Gobbler Shrine. When used, it summons a whirlwind that destroys nearby Structures and causes damage to nearby Mobs.

The three costume pieces of the Lucky Beast can be obtained in exchange for 8 Lucky Gold Nuggets each at the Gobbler Shrine. While they are worn as hats, the "/dance" emote will be replaced with a different animation. The constant Sanity bonus that is applied while wearing a costume piece and dancing, increases the more players are involved.
