The Gold Grasshopper is a harmless critter. It is a golden recolor of the ordinary Grasshopper, with a 1/400 (0.25%) chance of spawning in place of the ordinary version.

The Gold Grasshopper has only 5 health and no defense, and can be damaged by other enemies and players.

The Gold Grasshopper can be caught with any Bug Net to be carried around in the inventory and released later, or crafted into animated decorative furniture (Gold Grasshopper Cage). Once crafted, the Gold Grasshopper cannot be released again, unless the furniture item is de-crafted via Shimmer(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions). The Gold Grasshopper itself or the crafted furniture can be sold for 10 GC.

The Gold Grasshopper can be used as bait for fishing, with 50% bait power.

It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer or its upgrades.

Notes

Although very unlikely, it is possible for two Gold Grasshoppers to spawn when the player breaks a single grass plant.

Trivia

The Bestiary entry for the Gold Grasshopper: "Rarely, critters are found coated entirely in gold! They are worth great coin to shopkeepers and fish absolutely love golden bait!"
