**Silky Cocoons** can be found in the Hooded Forest around the Hooded Widow's lair. They look like Spider Dens, but in different shapes and hanging from the Hooded Forest's canopy.

No matter how much damage or how many times you hit a Silky Cocoon it will not open. While Hooded Widow is alive, Hitting a Silky Cocoon will spawn her and Silky Cocoons will get replaced every 5 days, changing what creature is inside. After breaking them, it'll take 12 days for them to respawn.

**“**Only the spider itself can match this tensile strength.**”**
–Wickerbottom, hitting the cocoon, without the Widow's Claw.

**“**Yeah, no, we're not breaking through that on our own.**”**
–Winona, hitting the cocoon, without the Widow's Claw.

–Walter, hitting the cocoon, without the Widow's Claw.

**“**A waste of time, perhaps a tool is needed?**”**
–Wanda, hitting the cocoon, without the Widow's Claw.

**“**I keep getting stuck when I try to rip it up!**”**

Silky Cocoons can only be opened with the Widow's Claw, which can be obtained from killing the Hooded Widow herself. Creature and items dropped from the Cocoons are based on size, from tiers one, two, and three.

The Cocoons will have a different Prefix and different loot depending on which mob is inside of them. They will also drop silk, the amount depending on the size of the Cocoon. The mob inside the Cocoon drops its loot, plus some extra loot.

## Tips

* If you're planning to kill Hooded Widow early on, It's often better to open the tier two Cocoons, as those have a chance for the Wlarus Tusk, Tam O' Shanter and Krampus Sack.

## Trivia

* Silky Cocoons were added in the Hooded Forest update.
* Silky Cocoons are actually victims of the Widow.
* It's technically possible to gain two Krampus Sacks from opening Silky Cocoons, due to the way it's coded.
* Opening a MacTusk Cocoon on Summer is currently the only way to obtain the Sunglasses, due to the Vacation MacTusk Night Terror being removed.
* Suspicious Peeper is the only mob with just extra loot, since the mob doesn't have drops normally.
* The Spider Queen being a mob held in Cocoons implies the Hooded Widow is a cannibal.
