"Unexplainable creatures birthed from the nefarious aura of the Blood Moon. Ancient tomes allude to their long history."
The Smothering Shade is a Hardmode enemy found on the Surface during Blood Moons. It flies erratically around the player in bursts, occasionally firing damaging purple orb projectiles at them, and inflicting Slow debuff.
Trivia
- The Shade was the first boss introduced in the Thorium Mod. It was removed when the mod transitioned to tAPI, and has since been reintroduced in the tModLoader version as a regular enemy.
