Acrobatic arthropods of the jungle canopies

Derplings are bizarre blue shell-backed jumpers that dominate the surface Jungle in Hardmode. Known for their unpredictable hopping patterns, they launch themselves high into the air and rebound off mud slopes and mahogany branches. Endowed with 300 health and 26 defense, they can absorb sustained punishment while cornering unwary gatherers.

Dodging heavy impacts and finding exotic fruit

A collision with an airborne Derpling deals 80 contact damage in Classic and 160 in Expert, turning open jungle treks into hazardous gauntlets. When defeated, they drop Grapes at a 2.5% rate for dietary enhancements, along with Glommer's Flower at a 1% chance to summon a friendly floating companion.

Trivia

  • Glommer's Flower dropped by Derplings is part of the crossover content from Don't Starve.
  • Derplings possess high jump velocity that allows them to scale towering canopy trees.
