The Dungeon Spirit is a flying Hardmode, post-Plantera enemy that spawns in the Dungeon after Plantera is defeated. It can travel through blocks and drops Ectoplasm, which can be used to craft many Spectre-related items, as well as the Pumpkin Moon Medallion and Naughty Present.

When defeating any enemy with more than 100 maximum health in a Hardmode, post-Plantera Dungeon, there is a (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) 1/13 (7.69%) / 1/9 (11.11%) / (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) 1/15 (6.67%) chance of a Dungeon Spirit spawning from where they had been killed. The enemy must also have been defeated in front of an unsafe [Dungeon Brick Wall]] to spawn a Dungeon Spirit. On the  Desktop version,  Console version, and  Mobile version, the enemy must also drop coins, meaning statue-spawned and Old One's Army enemies do not spawn Dungeon Spirits.

Notes

• In Expert Mode(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), all enemies have doubled health and all pre-Hardmode enemies receive a further health bonus during Hardmode. Because of this, all enemies in the Dungeon that can be killed can spawn Dungeon Spirits, except for Cursed Skulls.
  • In Master Mode(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), all enemies have a further health increase, putting Cursed Skulls above 100 maximum health, which allows them to spawn Dungeon Spirits as well.
• The chance of a Dungeon Spirit spawning is affected by the closest player's luck(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).

Tips

• An easy way to farm Dungeon Spirits is to find or place a Water Candle in a large room that has many tunnels leading into it and use the Piranha Gun on enemies, as the weapon will automatically chase the Dungeon Spirit when it spawns.
• In Expert Mode, summoning King Slime in the Dungeon will provide a decent amount of Ectoplasm, as his Blue and Spiked Slimes can summon Dungeon Spirits.
• If the player has an active Wisp in a Bottle, Dungeon Spirits may blend in and be mistaken as the Wisp, as they look very similar. Dyeing the Wisp is an effective way around this without dismissing the light pet.

Trivia

• The Dungeon Spirit is the icon of the "Robbing the Grave" achievement.

• The Bestiary entry for the Dungeon Spirit: "Sometimes, highly concentrated ectoplasm gathers inside the more powerful of the cursed inhabitants of the Dungeon."
