Yuletide Elf
| “ | DRESS UP FOR YULETIDE! In order for you to get in the right yuletide mood, we are handing out a special set of YULETIDE COSMETICS. Management remains unconvinced, but according to HR research this sort of thing leads to increased employee morale. Happy employees are hard working employees after all, according to the charts. ATTENTION: This assignment is LIMITED TIME ONLY, so complete it before the end of the year! Also...take special care when equipping this elf suit around other dwarves - it does not make you bulletproof. |
| — Mission Control |
The Yuletide Elf is a special creature found only during the Yuletide event. When defeated and deposited, it grants players a 
Performance Points multiplier, doubling the Performance Points received upon mission completion.
The Yuletide Elf's appearance strongly resembles that of a player, though much smaller. Its outfit is nearly identical to the Yuletide Elf headwear and armor. The Yuletide Elf can be found wandering the caves holding a large, bow wrapped, candy cane. When disturbed the elf will flee from the player, similarly to a Fester Flea. The Yuletide Elf is able to run along the walls and ceilings just like a glyphid.
When fleeing the Yuletide elf leaves a feint trail of snowflakes behind. Additionally when hit it sprays forth a confetti of Yuletide candy.

Switching weapons, Saluting, or using the Laser Pointer will also cause the player to drop the Heavy Object.
