Monument

A Monument looks like a gray concrete obelisk, and that is the trick: it is a fleshy, hermit-crab-like creature living inside a hollowed-out monument shell. It belongs to The Outdoors, was added on August 10, 2025, and is hostile and fatal. It only moves when nobody looks at it.

Move when unobserved

Once unobserved, it climbs off its base, extends four red fleshy legs and walks to the nearest player. The longer nobody looks at it, the faster it goes. When someone looks again, it retracts its legs and freezes. Looking at it through a window does not count as observing it. You can hear it breathing when you stand next to it, and its footsteps while it moves.

When it reaches you

It stabs you for 35 damage, which alone would not kill, then drags you under itself and crushes you, which is instant death. Once it has reached you, other players watching it does not stop the kill. Monuments cannot attack players inside toolsheds, although they will walk up to one. They despawn when Eyestalk's chase starts, when you talk to Grampy or when you enter The Hedge Maze. A dead Monument can be seen roasting on a campfire at The Mill.
