The 4 iconic Don't Starve: Reign of Giants bosses reimagined. They're looking a little smaller than usual...?
"Reign of Runts" is a 4 character mod that takes the classic RoG bosses: Deerclops, Bearger, Moose/Goose, and Dragonfly and turns them into Wilson-sized playable characters ripe with perks and personalities!
