Placing a few Fruits and Vegetables near a Tentacle close to a Mermhouse will increase the chance of a Merm getting attacked by the Tentacle while going after or eating the food. When a Merm finds the food, it will approach and eat them one by one. To start a battle between Merms and Tentacles, Fruits or Vegetables can be used as bait. Once the player runs some distance apart from a Merm, it will stop being aggressive and will walk back to its house. It isn't recommended to fight several Merms at once, as they run faster than the player and will kite, like Pigs. For this reason, they make for an excellent source of Tentacle Spikes, Tentacle Spots, Monster Meat, Fish, Frog Legs, Spider Glands, and Silk: Simply wait for the Merms to finish fighting, then clean up what they leave. Thanks to the hostile nature of the Marsh Biome, Merms are often discovered in pitched battle with Tentacles, Spiders, or both. Merms can be kited, very similarly to Pigs.

If you kill a fish as Wurt while Merms are following you, they will immediatly stop following you and go back to their house. They can follow up to 3 days without eating. Just like Wurt, Merms can eat Kelp or Durians without taking damage. Wurt, or any character wearing the Clever Disguise, can recruit Merms as followers by feeding them vegetarian food or raw Fishes for 25 per day (14.2 per day if King of the Merms is alive). As long as the King of the Merms is alive, Merms are neutral towards all players and mobs and gain +60 Health and +10 damage. Merms and Frogs are also neutral toward each others. Merms are neutral toward Wurt, players wearing the Clever Disguise, and all their followers. Merms will naturally regenerate their health in a speed of 5.2 health per 10 seconds. In Don't Starve Together, one Merm will spawn from Craftsmerm House. They only react to incoming players, Pigs, Bunnymen, Chester, Hutch, Gobblers, Rock Lobsters, Abigail, MacTusks, Wee MacTusk, and Mandrakes. Similar to Pigs, when they are provoked, they will attack in groups and will kite. Merms will only become aggressive if a mob or player gets too close to their house. During the Day, only 1 Merm per Mermhouse is normally outside (unless it gets into combat, in which case all the other Merms come out), and when Dusk comes, all Merms go outside, much like Spiders.

They also spawn in specific set pieces, including a set piece where they spawn with pigs, resulting in them fighting.Ī Mermhouse can house up to 4 Merms, and it respawns a Merm in 4 days after it's killed. Merms spawn from Mermhouses, which can be found in Marsh Biomes.
