The Brown Recluse is a rare Hardmode enemy that can be found in and around Spider Nests after the Borean Strider has been defeated. Like other spider-like enemies, Brown Recluses are capable of climbing background walls as well as through platforms but revert to acting like a fighter mob when there is no background wall. They also periodically spawn Recluse Babies that can inflict the Acid Venom debuff on hit. In Expert Mode, Brown Recluses also gain a special spit attack which they use while walking on the walls. It inflicts a long-lasting Acid Venom debuff.
Killing a Brown Recluse will complete the "Not So Itsy Bitsy" contract, unlocking the Drider's Grace in the Tracker's shop.
It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer or its upgrades, with a rarity of 2.
