Greyling is a Forest Monsters creature in Valheim with 20 health. The numbers above are the ones the game never shows you: how fast it moves against your own speed, how much damage inside one window it takes to stagger it, whether smoke and fire do anything to it, and the spawn rule behind the biome — an interval, a chance and a cap per zone.

Greyling FAQ
How do you kill Greyling in Valheim?
Weak to: Fire. Health is 20, so the right damage type matters more than raw weapon damage.
What does Greyling drop in Valheim?
It drops Resin (100%). Chances shown are for a plain kill; starred variants multiply both the amount and the chance on anything that scales.
Where does Greyling spawn in Valheim?
In Meadows the game rolls for one every 300 seconds with a 50% chance, up to 2 alive in a zone at once. Valheim worlds are seed-generated, so there is no fixed location: the rule is what is fixed, not the place.
Can you outrun Greyling in Valheim?
Yes. Greyling runs at 4 against your 7, so a straight sprint loses it as long as your stamina holds — which is the real limit, not its speed.
Can Greyling be staggered?
Yes. Landing 30% of its maximum health inside one window staggers it, which is the opening a parry is for — parry damage counts towards that figure, so the two combine.
