The Secret Woods is full of slimes that will attack the player. When two slimes are close to each other, a heart may appear over them and a small slime with no features will appear.
The Secret Woods contains six [[stumpLarge Stump|stumps]]s that regrow daily that can be harvested for a total of twelve [[Hardwood]] each day. Four stumps are in the open, the last two are found by walking through a covered passage through the trees directly south of the set of three stumps, in a small clearing. The clearing can be seen when close to the treeline.
The pool in the southwest is the only location where the [[Woodskip]] can be caught. It also contains [[Carp]].
