Zero arrives in the Don't Starve Together adventure alongside her «pet», Tsukuyo. Most of Zero's abilities are sealed, and Tsukuyo is trapped outside the walls. Zero's dialogue consists of lines shared by both characters.
Character Abilities
- Black Invasion · Lunar Eclipse: Zero is prioritized as a target by all Shadow and Lunar faction enemies and takes 50% increased damage from them. When Sanity is above 300 or when insane, minions of Shadow or Lunar continuously spawn. If minions fail to kill Zero within 60 seconds, Tsukuyo triggers Black Invasion · Lunar Eclipse centered on Zero, consuming hunger. This instantly kills all minions and grants a special resource aligned with the minions' faction. When the special resource reaches 50 or higher, Zero is afflicted by Shadow or Lunar visual filters.
- Omniscient · Insensitive: Sanity fluctuations are reduced by 50%. Immune to all negative Sanity auras. Possesses the special abilities of the Weaver (excluding faction abilities; can insert Enlightenment Shards, Fear, Glory). Can write books but cannot read them.
- Omnilearned · Benevolent: Can memorize crafting recipes she has made. Can convert electrical components into scraps at a 1:3 ratio. Most non-faction enemies are neutral to Zero. Facing enemies directly reduces damage taken by 15%. Attacking enemies from behind deals 50% increased damage.
