Don't Starve is a wilderness survival game developed by Klei Entertainment and first released in 2013, where players gather resources, manage hunger and survive against strange creatures. Turkeys, known in the game as gobblers, wander the world searching for berries and often flee when approached, and their distinctive gobbling calls became a familiar part of its soundscape. Short clips of those calls later circulated on soundboards and in gameplay videos, where editors reused them outside the game as a quick, recognisable animal joke.
