Multilegged arachnids scuttling through crimson chasms

Blood Crawlers are red, multi-eyed arachnids that infest the chasms and surface meadows of the Crimson. Possessing 60 health and 8 defense, a Blood Crawler inflicts 30 contact damage in Classic, rising sharply to 60 in Expert and 90 in Master. They scale steep blood-soaked terrain with ease, dropping from cavern ceilings to ambush passing adventurers.

Harvesting vertebrae and fleshy spikes from crimson stone

Ranged weaponry and wide melee swings are crucial for repelling Blood Crawlers, as their rapid crawling speed can pin unarmored miners against jagged chasm walls. They drop Vertebrae at a 33.3% rate, necessary for crafting Bloody Spines to summon the Brain of Cthulhu. They also yield the Tentacle Spike weapon at 0.19% and Monster Meat at 0.067%.

Trivia

  • Blood Crawlers can climb along background walls inside natural Crimson chasms, dropping down directly above players.
