Feral acrobats of the dark solar eclipse
The Possessed are fast, twisted undead women that emerge during the Hardmode Solar Eclipse. Crawling on all fours and bounding over obstacles with frightening agility, they close distance on players faster than almost any other eclipse monstrosity. They possess 600 health and 28 defense, navigating cliffs with sudden lunges.
Halting frenzied leaps and securing rare steaks
A collision with The Possessed inflicts 68 contact damage in Classic and 136 in Expert, requiring knockback weapons or piercing spells to keep them at bay. Slaying them drops Steak at a 1% rate for long-lasting food buffs, alongside the rare decorative painting This Is Getting Out of Hand at a 1.67% rate to decorate shelter walls.
Trivia
- The Possessed can scale multi-block vertical ledges without breaking their sprint speed.
- They are inspired by possessed characters from classic supernatural horror films.
