Dango
Dango is a long worm plushie that only lives underground, in caves and deep tunnels. It crawls on floors, walls and ceilings, digs through stone, and can't be hurt. Its dream is Dango's Pit, home of the Nightmare Dango.
How it gets worse
Dango works in cycles. Each one goes through four phases, then it rests for a few minutes and starts over.
| Phase | What Dango does |
|---|---|
| 1 | You only hear it: a rumble and digging somewhere near you |
| 2 | Its head comes out of the floor or ceiling and stares. Look at it and it sinks back |
| 3 | It comes out and chases you on every surface, biting up close |
| 4 | It chases, then sinks into the ground and grabs you from below |
The last grab of a cycle always kills.
Hear rock grinding but can't see it? Dango is tunneling toward you. It digs through stone, dirt and ores.
The grab
In phase 4 the ground starts shaking under your feet. Half a second later Dango comes up and drags you down. Run as soon as you feel the shake: a few blocks away and it misses. It can't grab you on a thin bridge or over a drop either.
How to stay safe
- Place your Dango plush. A Dango pet within 16 blocks of you, or of Dango, keeps it away.
- Play its disc. Dango loves the Dango disc: it drops you, circles the Dream Jukebox closer and closer, breaks it and digs back in.
- Stay on the surface.
- Dango leaves you alone while you're in a dream.
Settings
In Dream Settings you can set Dango's spawn rate: Disabled, Low, Normal or High.
