"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. They will fly away and despawn if it becomes daytime.
Trivia
- The Smothering 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.
