Growch

This is an NPC, or a non-player character.

Be terrified by the horrible Growch! Visit GROWCH to cower in his shadow (Can also be found on GROWCH1, GROWCH2, GROWCH3, etc.. Similar to GROWGANOTH)

"The Growch has a teeny tiny black heart. He hates giving, kindness, and holidays. Maybe, if we all give him Winter Gifts... he'll learn what the holidays are all about. Plus, he might give us some stuff in return, so rock on."

The Growch is only present during WinterFest in the world GROWCH. While the Growch is unhappy, players need to form a global team effort to unlock new WinterFest items. The goal is to level up the Growch's heart by giving him Winter Gifts. Once enough gifts are given, the Growch's heart will grow, new items will be unlocked, and players will no longer be able to give him gifts for some amount of time.

Players can give the Growch a Winter Gift by tapping him with the item selected. If a player tries to give the Growch any Winter Gift while he is leaping for joy, he will happily decline the offer and return the Winter Gift to the player.

Parkour

As of WinterFest 2015, a parkour section has been added above the Growch. Once completed, the player may either choose to go to the Icy Heart Pickup, which will reward them with an Icy Heart Of Winter as long as they haven't already had one in their inventory, or visit the Nutcracker to purchase some exclusive items in exchange for World Locks.

Giving Trees

Several Giving Trees can be found surrounding the Growch. Players are able to chop them down with a Lumber Axe to obtain the trees themselves, leaving Giving Tree Stumps behind. These stumps may regenerate back into Giving Trees after some while.
