The Night Watcher

When night falls, the watcher comes out and stalks the player. It learns where the player lives, so a shelter set up during the day offers only partial protection. Players can give Benjamin orders such as come, stay, follow and wake up, and send him to gather wood. Leaving diamonds outside the door is a way to bait the watcher away, but it drains sanity, so the player is advised to strike at the lowest point of the watcher's route.

Benjamin needs the player alone in the world to act as a companion. He can be geared up with armor and a sword, and without a sword he cannot defend himself. If Benjamin dies, the player's sanity drains and the player suffers. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
