Bestiary entry

"Residing on the floors of the depths, a single sting from one of these starfish can spell doom to many."

The Crown of Thorns is a Hardmode enemy found in the Aquatic Depths. It moves slowly along the ground towards the player, leaping over obstacles and dealing contact damage. It cannot swim.

Notes

• It appears similar to a slime but it is not one. It can move without jumping, albeit slowly.

Tips

• Although generally not a threat to a player swimming through the Aquatic Depths, caution should be taken if the player dives close to the floor. The Crown of Thorns deals extreme contact damage and can easily kill an unaware player.
