🪵 Stick Bug

The Stick Bug is a rare monster in Stardew Valley, resembling a walking tree branch. It disguises itself within foliage and can surprise players when approached. Stick Bugs are hostile creatures that hop toward the player, dealing contact damage.

While uncommon, they can be a nuisance due to their deceptive appearance. Defeating Stick Bugs contributes to the Adventurer’s Guild monster eradication goals.
