Pollen Sprites adds a new type of non-hostile monster. They appear on windy days, float around players harmlessly, and sometimes drop random seeds when defeated. You'll find them around the farm and various parts of the wilderness. You can also enable options to give yourself "allergy" effects or change which seeds they drop.

Created for the Spring 2020 event on the Stardew Valley Discord server.

Options
