The Clown is an uncommon Hardmode enemy that only appears during Blood Moons. Although it has a chance to inflict the Confused debuff upon contact with the player, its primary weapons are yellow Happy Bombs, which are thrown in an arc, bounce off surfaces, and explode upon contact with the player or after a brief duration, dealing high damage but not destroying tiles. Clowns can also throw Chattering Teeth Bombs.

Once the player has defeated at least one Clown in a world, the Clothier will start selling the Clown set.

It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) or its upgrades. The Clown requires 25 kills to be awarded completion of its Bestiary entry and corresponding banner, as opposed to the usual 50 kills.[1]

Notes

Trivia

  • This enemy is modeled after the archetypal evil clown, which has been a recurring urban legend in the United States since the 1900s. The archetype was popularized in 1940 by the Joker from DC Comics, and again in 1986 by Pennywise from the horror novel It by Stephen King.
  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Clown: "His origins unknown, this creepy fiend balances himself on a ball while hurling explosive destruction at everything around him."

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4:
    • Damage of Happy Bombs reduced from 160 to 120.
    • Happy Bombs now glow, making them easier to see.
    • Clowns now make idle sounds.
    • Clown's drop pool has also been overhauled:
      • Is now the sole source of KO Cannon, having a 1/5 chance to drop it.
      • Bananarang drop rate has been increased from 1/30 to 1/10.
      • Bloody Tear drop rate increased from 1/100 to 1/10 (like other uncommon Blood Moon enemies).
  • Desktop 1.1.1:
    • Bombs thrown by Clowns will now show that the wall has been destroyed in multiplayer.
    • Will only throw bombs when players are in range.
