Fisher Neko

A Fisher Neko sits by the water with a fishing rod and swaps raw fish for fur pieces in the two coats that can't be crafted.

Where it lives

It spawns alone on beaches and along rivers. It looks for a dry block next to water within 8 blocks, sits down and fishes for one to three minutes at a time. Every 20 to 60 seconds it pulls out a cod or a salmon and holds it for a couple of seconds. That fish is only for show: you can't take it, and the rod never drops either.

It has 20 health. Its coat is ginger, gray, white or black.

The quest

Right-click it without fish in your hand: it asks for ten fish and shows how many you have brought. Right-click it with Raw Cod or Raw Salmon: it takes as many from the stack as it still needs.

For ten fish it gives one random fur piece: Cat Ears, a Cat Tail, Paw Gloves, Paw Mittens, Paw Leg Warmers or Paw Slippers. The coat is Siamese or Calico, with equal chances. The piece goes into your inventory, or drops at your feet if there is no room.

The count is kept separately for each player and each Fisher Neko, and it survives a restart. The quest can be repeated as often as you like.

A Stray Neko sells 6 Raw Cod or 5 Raw Salmon for an emerald, so ten fish cost 2 emeralds.
