Lycanthrope sprinters hunting during full moon nights

Werewolves are terrifying lupine monsters that stalk the surface overworld at night during the full moon phase in Hardmode. Boasting 350 health and 38 armor, a Werewolf charges on powerful limbs, delivering 70 contact damage (140 in Expert and 210 in Master). Its swift leaping strides and heavy defense allow it to shrug off weak attacks while closing the distance.

Securing moon charms and lycanthropic accessories

Because Werewolves possess high defense and swift running speeds, employing armor-penetrating weapons like the Megashark or high-knockback melee arms is crucial for preventing them from overwhelming surface defenses. Defeated Werewolves drop Adhesive Bandages at 1% and offer a 1.67% chance for the Moon Charm, transforming the wearer into a werewolf at night.

Trivia

  • Werewolves only spawn during night hours when the lunar cycle reaches a full moon.
