The Frozen Balloon is a Hardmode Master Mode-exclusive pet summoning item that has a chance to be dropped by Borean Strider. It spawns a Frozen Balloon pet to follow you around. The Frozen Balloon is connected to the player by a string. The Frozen Balloon is immune to damage from enemies and despawns upon player death.

The Frozen Balloon pet will uniquely take visual damage as it gets hit by any attack, with 3 different damaged states. If the pet does not take damage for 2 seconds, it will recover to its previous damage state, until it has fully recovered.

Notes

  • The Frozen Balloon pet is not considered an entity and does not affect projectiles' penetration or homing ability.
  • The Frozen Balloon pet has an innate invulnerability period after taking damage, lasting 0.25 seconds.

Trivia

  • This item's name and buff tooltip, "Impervious to sharp attacks and darts apparently" are references to the Bloons Tower Defense series of games. In it, Frozen Bloons are a type of Bloon that cannot be damaged by sharp projectiles, including most darts.
