How to Kill the Rugrat (Baby Monster)

The Rugrat, also known as the Baby Monster, is a tiny but surprisingly strong creature that steals valuable items and weaponizes them against players. If it sees you while holding something, it will throw the item at you, dealing damage to both you and the item. If it's empty-handed, it simply runs away.

What Makes It Dangerous?

  • Steals valuable items and refuses to give them back.

  • Throws items as weapons, which can break them or kill you outright.

  • Can carry and throw two player items at once, making it a serious threat if armed.

How to Avoid It

  • Keep valuables off the ground—if it can’t grab anything, it’s harmless.

  • Stay out of its sight when it has an item, or it may throw it at you.

  • Deal with it quickly before it grabs something heavy enough to be lethal.

How to Fight and Kill It

  • Can only be killed by smashing it against walls or the floor.

  • Much heavier than Gnomes, requiring either 2-3 people or one person with three strength upgrades to lift.

  • If you’re alone and unarmed, avoiding it is the best option.

Final Tip

The Rugrat is a persistent little thief that turns your own loot against you. If you can lift it, smash it. If you can’t, keep your distance and protect your valuables.
