The first attack will happen 5 to 10 seconds after the player enters complete darkness, with the player being stalked when 60% to 20% of this time is left until the attack. Moments later, a slashing sound is heard and the player will be damaged for 100 and suffer a loss of 20.

When being stalked, the player's character will become alarmed, exclaiming things such as "What was that?", followed by a loud "whoosh" to signal her approach.

She is the secondary antagonist of Don't Starve and its DLCs and the main antagonist of Don't Starve Together. She only attacks when the character is in complete darkness. Charlie, otherwise known as the Darkness or the Night Monster, is a hostile damage source unseen to the player in-game.
