Bouncing horrors of the hardmode crimson
Herplings are grotesque fleshy creatures that overrun the Crimson surface and caverns in Hardmode. Lacking traditional limbs, they propel their large fleshy bodies with erratic, high-speed leaps across uneven terrain. Armed with 220 health and 26 defense, they rapidly close distance on unsuspecting travelers exploring the corrupted landscape.
Absorbing violent impacts and obtaining meat grinders
Colliding with a leaping Herpling inflicts 65 contact damage in Classic and 130 in Expert, capable of chunking through light armor rapidly. Slaying these crimson aberrations yields the Meat Grinder at a 0.5% rate, a crafting station used to fabricate Flesh Blocks, alongside Monster Meat at a 0.067% chance for survival cuisine.
Trivia
- Herplings bounce with varying trajectory angles, making their landing positions difficult to predict.
- They cannot jump through platforms if struck by heavy knockback mid-leap.
