It looks kind of like a monster... but I think it's just a tree.

The Gloomthorn is a Tree exclusive to Don't Starve Together, introduced in the From Beyond updates. It is one of of two ancient trees that can grow from a Surprising Seed.

If the planted seed is a Gloomthorn seed, it will grow into a Gloomthorn Sapling, if the current Season is Winter or the ground is Marsh Turf. The planted seed can be examined to see if the conditions are met. If not, it is a Sproutrock seed and can be dug to replant it elsewhere or the Turf can be replaced. Otherwise it will grow into a Gloomthorn Sapling after 3-7 days, if both conditions are met.

The Gloomthorn Sapling will continue to grow into a Gloomthorn after 8-12 days, if both of the conditions are still met. The sapling can be dug to replant it elsewhere or another time.

A Gloomthorn will grow 4 Nightberries every 12-25 days, which can be picked at night. The berries will also grow during the other seasons, so the Gloomthorn benefits from the 25% regrow speed in Spring.

The Gloomthorn and its sapling are completely fireproof and cannot be ignited by any means, including wildfires. However, it can be chopped or destroyed, dropping 5 Logs, 1 Twigs, and a new Surprising Seed. The leftover stump can be dug for 2 Logs.
