I have crops planted for the next hour and a half. I have an invaded villain to make radiant crops for gold. He only lasts for 15 minutes when bought. How long does the villain stay if I keep it open the whole time? Do they despawn like the totems and bats and whatnot?

They de spawn after a while but I couldn't tell you long sorry.

I've not seen a villain in over a week now so can't time it either!! Guess I'm just lucky that NKKs quest isn't timed

I've seen them stick around for about 10 minutes or so. I've not bothered to trap gulper or Wolfgang every time and that's about their hang-out max

Today i recognized a villain (golden queen) for at least 22min on my islands. I think it could be 30min.

Some villains last for 24 hours and i think Tussle Sprout < radiant crop guy> only lasts for 5 mins . Depends on their purpose .

Those times are once they've been captured. The question is how long they wander around your islands without being captured. Not really sure what the answer is, but if you leave the game and come back, they seem to disappear.

Oops my mistake. About as long as sugarbats I reckon ? Possibly longer . I dont kill myself to look for them , I check my island for bats first .

Totems and Sugar Bats only stay for 5 minutes, and they blink red for the last 30 seconds or 60 seconds. I expect villains to be the same. I will time one the next time I see one.

BTW guys it seems to be about the same as the sugarbats as to how long they stick around. Just an FYI for anyone following.

It may vary how long they wander before disappearing. A while back I was in the game for a long time - collecting from the post office for a mission and sending skylanders on short adventures - and I was surprised that the villain stayed wandering the full time I was in the game. I didn't time it, but it was easily 1/2 an hour or more.

Gulper seemed to stick around at least that, too

And it may just be a figment of my imagination, but if I let a villain wander, I'm pretty likely to have traptanium show up shortly

I think they stick around as long as you stick around in Lost Islands. I've cleared a piece of Traptanium to get Gulper or someone else while keeping it open for the six minutes.

I stalked Chill Bill as he wandered my islands for exactly 20 minutes today before he found his way off.
