It is possible to have multiple Cresbots at once, as long as you store them in your house before killing Automatons. It is also possible to receive two Cresbots in a single kill, if the player is wearing a Mask of the Automatons. Although, this would be exceptionally rare, as the player would have to receive the very rare Cresbot drop on a 10th kill in order to activate the drop-doubling benefit of the mask. Cresbots do not need food, thus will not run away due to hunger. They are not recoverable from a gravestone.
