Don't Starve Together updated, Woodie gets a refresh with a new animated short plus a new Beta

Creepy and stylish co-op survival game Don't Starve Together from dev Klei has another update available and it sounds great.

This time around the character Woodie went through a bit of a refresh including two brand new transformations, giving different specializations. You can also trigger random transformations by consuming Monster Meat (or prepared dishes like Monster Lasagna), with specific transformations done by consuming one of the three new craftable idols made with Monster Meat. There's some other strange changes too, like Woodie being forced into a random transformation on each full moon, Woodie no longer needs to eat wood and so on.

Klei also put out a sweet animated short for this update:
