Drops
Chattering Teeth Bomb drops nothing in the game's drop rules.
Explosive mechanical novelties dropped by blood moon clowns
Tossed by Clowns during the Hardmode Blood Moon, the Chattering Teeth Bomb is an animated explosive hazard. Carrying 200 health and 30 defense, this clicking wind-up toy hops erratically across terrain toward players, delivering 120 explosive contact damage in Classic, 240 in Expert, and 360 in Master mode upon detonating.
Defusing hopping explosives with long-range fire
Because Chattering Teeth Bombs explode upon making contact with a player or after a brief timer expires, engaging them in close quarters is perilous. Players should keep their distance and snipe the hopping teeth with guns, bows, or magic projectiles before they reach barricades. Destroying them from afar triggers their explosion harmlessly away from NPC housing.
Trivia
- Chattering Teeth Bombs are treated as actual NPC entities rather than pure projectiles.
- Unlike historical Clown bombs, modern Chattering Teeth Bombs do not destroy placed world tiles.
