Mossveil Dormice

What it is

Mossveil Dormice are small, round cave companions with folded ears, twitching whiskers and a curling tail. Tame one and, with a Mossveil Cowl, it helps you breathe out poison at home. They never cast magic, breed or drop materials.

How to get it

Finding one

Look in lush caves: dry moss or clay floors, low light, a roof overhead, and a mature Glowcap nearby. Only a few live in one area.

Taming

Feed it Dried Glowcap Gills three times, in Survival, from within 3 blocks.

Step	Cost	Notes
First feeding	1 Gill	Reserves her for you for 5 minutes
Second and third	1 Gill each	Wait 5 seconds between feedings. The third makes you her owner
Heal your dormouse	1 Gill	Heals up to 2 health. She refuses if already at full health
Curl up or follow	Nothing	Use her with an empty hand

If your 5 minutes run out, the next person to feed her starts over. Only her owner can feed her or give orders once tamed.

She walks to follow you. She won’t teleport or go through portals, so leave her curled up at home when you travel far.

The Mossveil Cowl

Craft Moonreed Floss + Dried Glowcap Gills + Mycelial Dew. It’s a helmet with 1 armour and 66 durability, repaired with Moonreed Floss.

How to use it

While poisoned:

1. Wear the cowl.
2. Stand within 3 blocks of your own curled dormouse, with a placed Fungal Nursery nearby.
3. Crouch still for 2 seconds.

Your Poison gets shorter by 3 seconds or a quarter of what’s left, whichever is less. It costs 1 durability and slows you for 1 second. You and your dormouse then rest for 10 seconds. Moving, standing up, or changing helmets cancels it.

It’s never a full cure, and it doesn’t work on endless Poison.

Tips and counterplay

• For emergencies, the off-hand Cave Breather clears Poison outright. The cowl is the slow, safe-at-home option.
• Your dormouse can still be hurt. Keep her away from fights.
• Materials come from Moonreed Gardens, Glowcap Nurseries and Sporeback Snails.
• Server owners can switch natural spawns off. Dormice you already have stay.
