Question mark displayed above Confused enemies

Confused is a debuff which causes controls to reverse. When applied to a player, ◀ Left acts as ▲ Up and ▶ Right; ▶ Right acts as ◀ Left; ▲ Up acts as ▼ Down, and ▼ Down has no effect[1]. See Notes for more detailed control behavior. When applied to enemies, a question mark appears above them, and causes them to move away from the player rather than towards them. Enemies with ranged attacks will be unable to use those attacks. The debuff can be prevented with the Trifold Map (and by extension, anything crafted from it), which is dropped by most enemies that cause the debuff.

About 70% of enemies and the entirety of bosses in Terraria are immune to the Confused debuff. Many of the vulnerable enemies include slimes, bats, and most fighters.
