Charlie, otherwise known as the Darkness or the Night Monster, is a hostile damage source unseen to the player in-game. She only attacks when the character is in complete darkness, unable to see. (Characters will state when they are vulnerable, e.g. "It’s so dark!"). When being stalked, the character will become alarmed, exclaiming things such as "What was that?", followed by a loud "whoosh" to signal her approach. Moments later, a slashing sound is heard and the character will take 100 damage and 20 Sanity loss. The first attack will happen 5 to 10 seconds after the character enters complete darkness, with the character being stalked when 60% to 20% percent of this time is left until the attack. The attacks will continue every 5 to 11 seconds until the character finds or creates a light source in order to see. Most characters can survive a single attack, even without armor. In the lore, Charlie was previously Maxwell’s female assistant for his magic shows. After the two of them were brought into the realm of the Shadow Creatures (also referred as "Them" by Maxwell), it is believed that Charlie was transformed to have the demonic traits and personality to become the night monster. It was later revealed that she is also the younger sister of Winona, who she mentions in both of her letters to Maxwell in the William Carter Puzzles. In the A New Reign cinematic video, her night monster form was visibly depicted for the first time. While she still has a human conscience, it seems that she’s partially controlled by evil forces and has little control over her violent actions. She is the secondary antagonist of Don’t Starve and its DLCs Reign Of Giants and Shipwrecked, and the main antagonist of Don’t Starve Together. Don’t Starve Together
In Don’t Starve Together, Charlie serves as the main antagonist of the world, carrying on after Maxwell’s reign while still being the night monster. After the events of Adventure Mode take place in which Maxwell and Wilson swap places, Charlie approaches Wilson as her human self and frees him from the Nightmare Throne. But after the demonic night monster version of her personality overpowers her, she attacks Wilson to absorb the powers he obtained from the throne and sends him back to the wilderness with Maxwell. After removing Wilson from the throne and absorbing the power, Charlie changes the throne area to her will. Her human and demonic personalities constantly fight each other over how the throne area should look. Eventually, both personalities morph into one balanced form as she sits down on the new throne. After Wilson and Maxwell finish building the Jury-Rigged Portal to bring other characters into their part of the realm, Charlie destroys it and replaces it with her own version, the Florid Postern, marking her new reign in the Don’t Starve world.

Trivia
Trivia- Charlie is referenced as Grue in the game files. This is a reference to the iconic monster from the game Zork. In Zork, the Grue only attacks players in pitch darkness after a line of warning, just like in Don’t Starve.
- Her gender and humanity were first revealed by Kevin Forbes (Klei’s lead programmer) on the Caves livestream.
- The first time her name was made known was in the Underground update, in which Maxwell started referring to the Night Monster as Charlie. Her former human version was later shown in some of the solutions of the William Carter Puzzles.
- The Moggles and Werebeaver’s night vision render the player immune to Charlie. This suggests that Charlie is not averse to light itself, but rather the ability to perceive her.
- According to a letter written by Charlie found in one of the William Carter Puzzles, it is implied that Charlie d > Bugs
Bugs- If a player enters a Worm Hole just before the night sets, Charlie will not attack when the character comes out of the other s > Gallery

Скорость атаки
Тьма (Darkness, также гру, ночной монстр) — монстр, являющийся олицетворением темноты, контролируемый (или являющийся) Чарли. Тьма атакует персонажа, если он находится в кромешной темноте.
Тьма является единственной причиной, по которой персонаж не сможет пережить ночь без освещения или ночного видения.
Восклики персонажа такие как: "It’s so dark!" ("Тут так темно!") означают, что около персонажа недостаточно света и вот-вот появится Ночной монстр. Если персонаж сразу же не найдет источник света, то примерно через 4 секунды раздастся шипение, сопровождаемое звуком, похожим на глубокий вдох, после чего Ночной монстр начнёт бить персонажа.
Один удар Тьмы наносит 100 урона, то есть большинство персонажей без брони не выдержат и второго удара. Нападения монстра будут продолжаться, пока персонаж не подойдёт к источнику света (персонаж скажет "I can see again!", рус. "Я снова могу видеть!") или же просто не погибнет.
Источники света
Следующие игровые объекты или явления излучают свет, препятствующий атаке Тьмы:
- условия окружающего мира
- День и сумерки
- Полнолуние
- Молния
- Свинопокалипсис
