Amphibious horrors of the solar eclipse
The Creature from the Deep is a savage amphibious terror that emerges during the Hardmode Solar Eclipse. Emerging in packs under darkened skies, these gill-bearing humanoids scale uneven ground and leap across obstacles with rapid foot speed. They possess 400 health and 22 defense, rushing players with 60 contact damage in Classic and 120 in Expert while pursuing targets relentlessly across dirt hills.
Harvesting the iconic oceanic transformation shell
Survivors of the eclipse can claim the Neptune's Shell from defeated creatures at a 2% rate. This classic accessory transforms the wearer into an aquatic merfolk whenever they enter water, granting unlimited underwater breathing and smooth swimming mechanics that negate liquid drag. It serves as an essential base component for crafting the Moon Shell and Celestial Shell at the tinkerer workbench.
Trivia
- Creatures from the Deep are inspired by classic cinematic gill-man cinema monsters.
- They can scale multi-tile vertical ledges without needing wings.
