Rockjaw is a shark-like Mob exclusive to Don't Starve Together introduced in Return of Them.

Every time a fish school emerges in Rough or Swell Ocean near player, there is a 7.5% chance that a Rockjaw also appears. When killed, the Rockjaw drops 3-5 Raw Fish, 3-5 Rocks, 2-3 Flint, 1-3 Barnacles, and occasionally a Deep Bass with a chance of 15%.

Behavior[]

The Rockjaw is aggressive towards anything that isn't another Rockjaw, even flying Birds. When fighting Creatures on water, it simply swims up to it and bites it, dealing 30 damage, before kiting it by swimming away for about 6 seconds and attacking again.

When fighting creatures located on a Boat, they jump on the Boat and perform a triple AoE attack before going back into the water. If a Rockjaw jumps on the boat three times without hitting a player with its attacks, it will lose interest and begin roaming again. Just like Beefalos and Bunnymen, a Rockjaw regenerates lost health over time, taking 3 days to regenerate its full health.

If a Rockjaw is attacked, Rockjaws nearby will also join the fight. It will despawn when unloaded from the player's vicinity.

Hunting[]

Below is the number of hits it takes with each weapon to kill a Rockjaw when playing with characters with a default damage modifier. The Weather Pain is not included due to the random nature of its projectile.

Trivia[]

• Rockjaws were introduced in the Troubled Waters update.
• Rockjaws are considered Monsters and are auto-attacked by not only Pigs or Bunnymen, but also Gnarwails.
• When Rockjaws are near the player, boat horn-like sounds can be heard.
• Before the Scrappy Scavengers update, the Rockjaw was only dropping Raw Fish. Due to the name and look of the Rockjaw, Rocks, Flint and Barnacles were added to its loot.
