Grasshopper

Catching field critters for early angling

The Grasshopper emerges randomly when players cut surface grass, flowers, or weeds using melee swings, projectiles, or a Lawn Mower. Players can capture it using a Bug Net to secure an easy supply of early bait. Carrying 10% bait power, it serves as an accessible lure for entry-level fishing expeditions when paired with a basic rod like the Wood Fishing Pole. Because it cannot swim, any insect knocked into ponds drowns unless scooped up immediately.

Culinary dishes and decorative terrariums

Beyond angling, players can prepare Grilled Grasshopper at a Cooking Pot or Cauldron, granting the Well Fed buff to boost defense, movement speed, and critical strike chance. Alternatively, combining one Grasshopper with a Bottle at a Work Bench crafts a decorative Grasshopper Cage. The critter also possesses a rare shiny counterpart, the Gold Grasshopper, which sells for 10 gold coins.
