Valheim's Pulp Enemies: Hexahedric, Shapeless, and Tiny Pulp, Compared to What's Actually Confirmed

 

    Valheim's Deep North update introduced a new enemy family: the Pulp creatures. Iron Gate's own 1.0 patch notes name three of them — Hexahedric Pulp, Shapeless Pulp, and Tiny Pulp — and list two related items, Dead Pulp (a material) and the Pulp Trophy. That's the entirety of what the official source publishes. No health, damage, behaviour, or spawn location is documented for any of the three — this article compares what Iron Gate did confirm and is explicit about what it didn't, rather than filling gaps with data this source doesn't provide.

 

Three Pulp Enemies, Named in the Patch Notes

 

    Iron Gate's 1.0 announcement lists three distinct Pulp variants by name: Hexahedric Pulp, Shapeless Pulp, and Tiny Pulp. That's the full roster the official source gives — the patch notes don't group them under a shared description, and they don't say whether the three are different creatures entirely or size/shape variants of one base enemy. The names themselves are the only evidence either way: "Hexahedric" points at a six-sided, geometric shape, "Shapeless" points at the opposite (an amorphous or ooze-like form), and "Tiny" points at a size distinction rather than a shape one. That's an inference from the naming pattern, not a confirmed mechanic — Iron Gate doesn't describe appearance, so treat it as a reasonable guess, not a documented fact.

 

    This is also a non-exhaustive comparison. The patch notes' own list of Deep North additions is what supplied these three names; if Iron Gate has since added more Pulp variants elsewhere, that isn't reflected here, because it isn't in the source this article is built from.

 

Dead Pulp and the Pulp Trophy: What's Named, Not Explained

 

 

    Alongside the three named enemies, the patch notes list two related items: Dead Pulp, described as a material, and the Pulp Trophy. The source labels these as related material without specifying how — it doesn't say which Pulp variant drops Dead Pulp, whether all three do, what Dead Pulp is used to craft, or what drop chance either item carries. All of that is undocumented in this source. Iron Gate confirms the two items exist and are grouped with the Pulp enemies as related material; it does not confirm the mechanics that connect them.

 

What Iron Gate Hasn't Published

 

 

    It's worth stating plainly what the official 1.0 patch notes do not contain, because the temptation with any new enemy roundup is to reach for numbers that sound plausible. They don't:

 

• Health values for Hexahedric, Shapeless, or Tiny Pulp.
• Damage figures for any attack any of the three uses.
• Behaviour — whether any of them is ranged, melee, passive, or aggressive on sight.
• Spawn locations within Deep North, beyond the biome itself.
• Elemental weaknesses or resistances.
• Drop rates for Dead Pulp or the Pulp Trophy.

 

    That's six categories of information, and all six are blank in the primary source. Community wikis haven't caught up either — Deep North launched alongside 1.0. Anyone quoting a specific Pulp health or damage number right now is quoting a guess, not Iron Gate.

 

Deep North and the 1.0 Release

 

 

    The Pulp enemies arrived as part of Valheim 1.0 "Deep North," released by Iron Gate Studio on 2026-09-09. That release is also the point at which Valheim exits Early Access, and Deep North is confirmed as the game's final biome — the last new landmass Iron Gate has stated it plans to add. Framed against that, the three Pulp enemies aren't a mid-cycle addition to an existing zone; they're part of the launch content for the last biome the game is getting, which is also why the wider ecosystem of wikis and guides hasn't caught up to their specifics yet.

 

What's actually confirmed right now

• Three named Pulp enemies: Hexahedric Pulp, Shapeless Pulp, Tiny Pulp.
• Two related items: Dead Pulp (material) and the Pulp Trophy.
• Zero published stats — no health, damage, behaviour, spawn location, or drop rate for any of the three.
• Deep North is Valheim's final biome, shipped with the 1.0 release on 2026-09-09, which is also when Early Access ends.
• Treat any specific Pulp number you see elsewhere right now as unverified until it traces back to an in-game source or an updated official patch note.

 

Running your own Valheim server

 

    A brand-new final biome is exactly the kind of content players want to explore together without losing progress between sessions. A gamever Valheim server keeps a Deep North world persistent for up to 10 players, with one-click backups so a bad early encounter with an undocumented enemy doesn't cost the group its save.

 

Conclusion

 

    Valheim's Deep North update added three named Pulp enemies — Hexahedric Pulp, Shapeless Pulp, and Tiny Pulp — plus two related items, Dead Pulp and the Pulp Trophy, all confirmed directly in Iron Gate's own 1.0 patch notes. What isn't confirmed is the information needed to actually fight or farm these creatures: health, damage, behaviour, spawn locations, resistances, and drop rates are all undocumented in the official source, and community wikis haven't filled the gap yet for a biome that launched alongside the 1.0 release on 2026-09-09 — the same update that took Valheim out of Early Access with Deep North as its final biome. Until Iron Gate or the community wikis publish numbers, the honest version of this guide is short: three names, two items, and a lot still unknown.
