Good Ideas, overall. I probably will change the recipes to use nightmare fuel (and make nightmare fuel a weaker food item to encourage essence crafting), as gold was more of a placeholder anyway. There are definitely more creatures I could use, such as moles or butterflies, but I want each essence be unique. I actually already have an essence for the cormorant, but its crafting is disabled because of an issue with it that I need to fix.

I do like your idea with the pig and merm heads. I might allow some special crafting with them during a full moon, or something like of that nature.

In fact, the game provides two things that are very suitable for "essences" materials - "Pig Head" and "Merm Head". Remember that they open their eyes and drop nightmare fuel during the full moon? Maybe Pig Skin and Frog Legs are quite adaptable to Nightmare Fuel.

@ckinderknecht11 But if you want to know some of my suggestions...

Add an option to use Nightmare Fuel instead of Gold Nuggets. After all, in some situations, Gold Nuggets are scarce, while Wulfrun encourages people to use her dagger to obtain Nightmare Fuel.

Perhaps Glowflies and those annoying Rabid Beetles could be made into "essences," allowing characters to eat them to make the creatures remain neutral toward us.

It could be said that all creatures that can be put into a backpack could be made into "essences," each with corresponding unique abilities, though this would certainly require a lot of time.
For example:

Moleworm could provide random minerals when mining.

Parrot Pirate could generate a treasure on the map, like the Lucky Hat.

Seagull could provide waterproofing.

Cormorant... um, it... could provide some fish eggs or fish.

Thank you author for bringing us your work.

@我不是DDC Alright, I've made some changes, I'll update the other version of the mod when I get the time. Please let me know what you think!

@我不是DDC Yeah, sure thing. As I said, I'm currently attending college and working a job, so my time is semi-limited, but I've been writing more dialogue on the side for Wulfrun, and I should be able to make some more essences up for you soon.

@ckinderknecht11 Author, could you make Wulfrun's "essences" crafting add some unique creatures from Hamlet? Thanks.

Alright, the first version is done. You can find a link to an alternate mod here on the mod page. Let me know what you think.

Alright, I've got some free time, so I'll try getting a version for you up and running soon.

That being said, it certainly could be done. I'm in college, so my time might be limited, but I'll see.

I thought of adding neutrality with nightmares, but I figured it might be too much for one character.

I would like to add to this character the neutrality with nightmares and the ability to tame them, as it is implemented in another character from DST
