The Donkey is a talking work animal that drops off a corpse in front of the Morgue every some days. He has a cart that carries the corpse which is attached to him. When the Donkey arrives in front of the Morgue, a bell rings no matter where your character is in the game. He spawns somewhere east of the Village, and you can catch him traveling west towards the front of the Morgue.
After you gain access to the Church, the Donkey will show up to initiate his quest. During the conversation he will drop a "present" in the form of his poop. Do not clean it! If you step on top of it, your character will slide and move at a slightly faster pace, being very useful to travel. As long as you don't enter a building, interact with an NPC, or interact with the environment your character will continue sliding.
Quests[ | ]
Carrots and Oil[ | ]
After you re-open the Church, the Donkey sees that you are not his comrade and instead have become a capitalist. He goes on strike and demands that you bring him 10×

Notes[ | ]
- In patch 1.400, Donkey gives Piece of donkey hair after receiving Revolutionary message 2.
- As of patch 1.027, after its quest is completed, the Donkey no longer visits when its carrot crate is empty. The Donkey used to show up but wouldn't deliver its corpse until carrots were added to the crate.
- The Donkey will not deliver a corpse if you load the game after noon has passed. This is likely a bug.
- Before making the carrot box, the donkey brings carcasses every 2 days, sleeping seems to affect this negatively (unconfirmed). After the construction of the carrot box it will deliver every day as long as the box is full, except on Sunday.
