The Cherrylings are friendly Neutral Mobs that live in the Cherry Forest. They look like a big living Cherry, growing and spawning from Cheerful Trees during Day & Dusk outside of Summer.

They fly and emit darkness from their stem's bulb which can help during the day without using equipments to prevent overheating from too much light. They may also produce a good amount of Cherries if fed the right way.

Upon death, a Cherryling will drop either a Cherry (69%), or an Endothermic Bulb (31%).

## Usage

### Farming

Cherrylings will only eat Petals and Cherry Gems off the floor and chests, but they will eat any fruits and vegetables given by hand and become an eternal follower until they die.

In addition of picking their habitat foods, they also gather Seeds (only specific crop seeds). While they have seeds in the inventory, blossoms will grow on their stem to show if they have few or lots. They will then have a 10% chance +5% per seed to produce a Cherry when they are done eating something.

A proper method to farm Cherries would be to setup a few Cheerful Trees in a same area to make a "Cherryling Village" and deposit a bunch of Carrot Seeds and Cooked Potatoes of the floor so all Cherrylings can make use of them and make Cherries.

### Combat

Surprisingly, Cherrylings can be useful in combat, they may fight if asked and can keep the aggro of hostile creatures as they tend to keep them running due to their fast movement.

Considering this, you can use Cherrylings as distraction during Hounds attacks. It is also possible to give hats and helmets to Cherrylings. This can be helpful against ranged enemies to make them last longer.

## Hide & Cherries and Trading

*For more information about the Minigame, see Cherry Stone.*
*For more informations to the table loot, see Geode.*
It it possible to exchange following Cherrylings for Geodes at the Cherry Stone, you can exchange up to 12 Cherrylings by touching it.

If you have at least 13 Cherrylings, they will be transformed into Cherrylimes and will start the Hide & Cherries minigame.

These two actions both have a 70 days cooldown but offers a lot of resources in exchange.

## Hunting

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

It takes 2 blasts to freeze a Cherryling with an Ice Staff and 3 Sleep Darts to put Cherryling to sleep.

## Trivia

* Their darkness can be blocked while wearing hats without an open-top.
* Cherrylings have personalities, with different behaviors and idle animation when bored between each individuals.
