Welnyel, the Devourer

Welnyel has arrived to join the misery. It has some trouble with speaking, but it's really good at eating. The only thing more mysterious than its origin is the pronunciation of its name.

Its main gimmick is combo-eating. In compensation for the fellow survivors, Welnyel can refine foods made by Monster Meat. Those puny human stomachs need some help.



Hunger: 335
Health: 145
Sanity: 155

Hunger rate: 1.35x

Every value can be modified in the Mods menu.



Special Eating Habits: Every third food restores double stats. However, it can't eat small consumables (such as Ice, Seeds, Lightbulbs, etc.). Welnyel has seasonal food preferences: While it prefers meat during Winter and Summer, it likes veggies more during Autumn and Spring. Foods with the favored type have a 1.25x stat bonus, the less popular ones have a 0.85x stat decrease. Welnyel can't lose Hunger, Sanity or Health by foods.

Relatives and Enemies in the Constant: Welnyel is a monster (Pigmen and Bunnymen are hostile against it). Depths Worms don’t attack it, unless it tries to take their Glow Berry bait. Worm Holes don’t drain its Sanity.

Purple Meat Bad, Red Meat Good: It can refine foods made by Monster Meat (recipes are in the Refine tab). Welnyel gains 5 Hunger and removes every negative effect. The resulted foods have 5 less Hunger stat compared to their original ones.

MUST EAT: Welnyel takes more damage by starvation (2 extra damage per seconds).

Welnyel has unique voice, as well as some unique voice lines.



2022.07.22.: Aligned the body parts (its head and torso was a bit out of line).
V1.3.: MUST EAT perk replaced: Welnyel no longer has damage boost when it starves, it drains more health instead.
V1.1.1.: Quick bug fix.
V1.1: More configurable options added. Every third food's Health and Sanity will be doubled by default.
V1.0: Welnyel is available to download. Waiting for feedback.



- Special thanks to the kind members of the Klei forum and the Don't Starve Discord. Their patience towards my silly questions was cruical.
- The talking sound is made from parts of the the Fiesta de los Muertos track from the Rayman Legends OST.
- You may copy the codings of my mods, but I don't allow to use my sprites in any other mod.



- More custom voice lines.

I have a good/bad habit of adding small reworks to my characters. Check out the mod's page when you see the mod is updating. If I feel like something is out of flavour or just doesn't make sense anymore, I try to come up with something better..



I've created a whole guide about character creation. Feel free to check it out:

Please, do not ask for other characters. If I'll have the time, I will probably make them anyway :)
I only accept friend requests if you first contact me at my profile page.

I'm heavily blushing, but I've decided to create and open a Ko-fi creator account.
If you have some schmeckles to spare and you like my work, this is a possible direction which towards you can aim and throw your tip.
Either way, I will upload most of my work-in-progress images there, I live and die for constructive criticism.
