All this interest in Balloons leaves you quite lonely, which is definitely understandable.
Luckily, you can craft yourself a friend that you cannot make organically.
By capturing a tiny Bloviator in a bottle, you can get an Angry Cloud Bottle. By feeding this angry little cloud a cookie,
you can make a Happy Cloud Bottle. This happy little cloud can be given a material form by crafting it into a Balloon Buddy:
<NEWLINE>
Apon creation, Balloon Buddies will be assigned a personality. This personality determines the expression and behavior of the Balloon Buddy.
All Balloon Buddies function like a wolf or cat, and can be made to stay, follow or wander. They can be picked up and itemized by sneaking with an open hand.
<NEWLINE>
Personalities:
<NEWLINE>
Happy - This balloon buddy will not engage in combat, but will lower nearby monster spawns. This ability is denoted by sunshine effects coming off of the Balloon.
<NEWLINE>
Cheeky - This balloon will engage in melee combat, but can dodge any arrows and other projectiles.
<NEWLINE>
Scary - This balloon has a terrifying visage and can send nearby monsters running in fear - although it cannot attack.
<NEWLINE>
Punished - This eyepatch-toting balloon will enter "stealth mode" and will not aggro mobs with its attacks. It also reduces its owner's detection range when nearby.
<NEWLINE>
Crazed - This balloon will engage in melee combat and attacks at a rapid rate compared to other balloons.
<NEWLINE>
Trolling - This balloon picks up its attack targets and drops them from a height.
<NEWLINE>
Charming - This balloon will not engage in combat, but its sheer presence can put nearby mobs into love mode.
<NEWLINE>
Cool - This balloon's slick drawn-on shades distract hostile targets from moving or attacking for a short period.
<NEWLINE>
Happy Cloud Bottles can also be used to craft the Cloud Blower, a useful tool that can be set to blow or suck air at great speeds.
<NEWLINE>
The Cloud Blower can pull in any items or mobs, or push them away. It can also be set to blast the user up into the sky, which works better when also holding a balloon. Cloud Blowers use Cloud Bottles as fuel, so be sure to have plent of those on hand.
