Angel Statue you say? I'm sorry, I'm not a junk dealer.

Merchant

Statues are furniture items. There are a total of 117 different statues: 25 decoration statues, 36 text and numerical statues and 56 functional mechanisms that have an effect when connected to wires and activated (26 hostile, 22 passive and 9 miscellaneous). Depending on the statue, upon activation it may spawn enemies, drop items, or teleport an NPC to the statue's location. Most statues can be found already placed in any area underground (most frequently in the Dungeon, Underground Cabins, and Cavern level), though Angel Statues also appear in chests. Like all furniture, a pickaxe is used to collect them.

Functional statues

See also: Guide:Wiring

The 56 functional statues can be further categorised into 3 subtypes: 26 enemy statues, 22 critter statues and 9 other statues. These statues can be wired and activated to spawn enemies, drop items, or teleport a random NPC to their location. Statue-spawned enemies do not drop coins but can drop their other usual items (except food items, these cannot drop from statue-spawned enemies) with the drop chance being multiplied by a set factor. However, they do count towards the banner counter, granting the player their respective banner per 50 kills, and can also drop Hearts and Stars, potentially granting an alternative source of health and mana. Statues found in Underground Cabins may be connected to Pressure Plates and can easily spawn enemies that may kill early game players.

On the Desktop version Desktop version, Console version Console version, and Mobile version Mobile version, most statue-spawned enemies will only drop loot if the player has dealt damage to them. They will not drop any loot if they are killed with traps, NPCs, and/or lava damage only.

Enemy statues

See Spawn limits below for limitations that apply to these functional statues.

On the Desktop version Desktop version, Console version Console version, and Mobile version Mobile version, certain types of enemy statues can be generated wired to a Pressure Plate, forming a statue trap.[1] Other statues can be accidentally wired to Pressure Plates if they happen to overlap with other traps.

Decorative statues

Decorative statues have no function and only serve as decoration. They are generally found placed underground. The three Lihzahrd statues are only found in the Jungle Temple, and are the only statues that do not appear to be made of stone. The Armor Statue can also be crafted with 50 Stone Block at a Work BenchWork Bench.

Text statues

These are crafted at the Heavy Work BenchHeavy Work Bench(Desktop, Console, Old-gen console and Mobile versions) with 50 Stone Block each.

Spawn limits

Entities within range count towards spawn limit.

Functional statues have two kinds of spawn limits: input cooldown and number limit.

The 6 tiles (2×3) a statue occupies can all be used as wire inputs, and the statue will enter a cooldown period upon activating. During this cooldown, activations from any trigger devices (Switches, Timers, Pressure Plates) will be ignored.

Activation of a spawning statue will not produce an item/character if a certain quantity of that entity already exists within a certain range. The range boundary is a circle, centered on the statue's spawning point.

Statue type Spawn limits
Input cooldown[3] Number limit[4] Distance (D) to Range Boundary
Enemy and critter statues 0.5 seconds 3 12.5 tiles (200 pixels)
6 37.5 tiles (600 pixels)
10 Anywhere in the world
Bomb, Heart, and Star Statue 10 seconds 3 18.75 tiles (300 pixels)
6 50 tiles (800 pixels)
10 Anywhere in the world
King and Queen Statue 5 seconds n/a n/a
Boulder Statue 15 seconds n/a n/a
  • Example: A new Bunny will not be spawned by an activated Bunny Statue if 3 or more Bunnies already exist within a 200-pixel radius.

Creatures spawned by Bunny, Fish, and Penguin Statues during a Blood Moon will immediately turn into their evil form. Corrupt Bunny, Corrupt Goldfish, and Corrupt Penguin (and their crimson counterpart) enemies do not count against the spawn limits. The same is true of Goldfish which start walking during rain, and Explosive Bunnies from Bunny Statues in For the worthy(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) worlds. Another exception is the Bomb Statue, since Bombs may group together into stacks of up to 9999(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) / 99(Old-gen console and 3DS versions) and each stack counts as a single entity.

Bunny and Squirrel statues will spawn their usual critters in a Cavern town, not Gem Critters.

Notes

  • All functional and decorative statues (except Turtle Statues, Owl Statues, Boulder Statues, Bast Statues and Lihzahrd Statues) have a chance to be found already placed underground and inside Underground Cabins.
  • Worlds contain up to 2, 3 or 4 of each type of pre-placed statues, depending on the world size. Underground Cabins can contain additional ones.
  • Already placed Slime Statues, Bat Statues, Skeleton Statues and Crab Statues are always trapped.
  • Despite its name, the Armor Statue cannot be used to display armor. Instead, armor is displayed using Mannequins and Womannequins.
  • Spawned enemies will not drop items that are specific to a particular biome or event.
  • Bunnies and Goldfish spawned during the Blood Moon have some special characteristics:
  • (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) With a single wire color, up to three independent 1 Second Timers can be wired per statue, for three spawns per second each. With all three wire colors, all six tiles of a statue can be connected to separate timers, for a possible six spawns per second. Enemy spawn limits apply, though if the enemies are instantly killed upon spawning (eg. if lava or a continually activated trap is used), each activation will successfully spawn an enemy. Verify
  • Old-gen console versionVerify Nintendo 3DS version Connecting two or three 1 Second Timers to the same tile using multiple wire colors results in more spawns, though timing for the activation of the timer is required. The timers can override each other if their intervals are too close together. However, it is possible to activate all six tiles of a statue for six spawns per second with only two one-second timers if all three colors of wire are used.

Tips

  • Some statues can be used to create useful mechanisms due to the stats or AI of the spawned entity:
    • Statues that spawn weak enemies (e.g. Slime Statue) can be used to create invulnerability mechanism to shield against heavy damage attacks.
    • Bird Statue and Crab Statue can be used to make Bird Engine and Crab Engine, respectively.
  • When spawning weak enemies into lava, it is most efficient to use a 1/2 second timer. This is just the amount of time it takes for them to be killed by the lava, meaning they will be killed as fast as they can be spawned.
  • The Metal Detector can help find statues, indirectly, by detecting the chest within Underground Cabins, which sometimes contain statues. Note that Hardmode ores, Life Crystals, and Life Fruits have priority over chests making this more difficult in hardmode.
    • Spelunker potions can also be used to the same effect.
  • Slimes spawned by the Slime Statue during the Slime Rain(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) event can help add to the number required to summon the King Slime.
  • (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Bunnies can be caught from the Bunny Statue and be crafted into Explosive Bunnies (which would otherwise cost 35 SC if purchased from the Pirate NPC).
  • (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) Ectoplasm, and subsequently money, can be farmed by placing a Chest Statue or Shark Statue in the Dungeon after Plantera has been defeated. These are the only statues that will work as the Dungeon Spirits that drop Ectoplasm will only spawn from killing enemies with above 100 health.
  • Spawned enemies from some statues will drop Hearts and/or Mana Stars when killed, if the player is currently not at maximum health or mana respectively. If the statues are set up with a timer and lava near a player arena, this can provide a fairly steady supply of mana and hearts. On the Desktop version Desktop version, Console version Console version, and Mobile version Mobile version, many statue-spawned enemies do not drop Hearts/Stars, but the Crab, Wall Creeper, and Slime statues still do, and are quick kills.
    • On the one hand, this bypasses the Heart and Star Statues' tight limits on nearby spawns; on the other, the hearts and stars do not spawn in advance, only when the player is below their respective maximums.
  • Boulder Statues can be used to create hovering objects. This can be done by placing down the Boulder Statue and use Block Swap to swap the blocks the statue is hanging from to gravity-affected blocks (Sand, Silt, Slush, etc.), then place down the desired object (e.g. furniture) on those blocks, and remove the Boulder Statue. This will make the gravity-affected blocks to fall and leave the object placed on them suspended in midair.
  • Since the effects of the Life Drain(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) work on statue-spawned enemies, the player can build a pit with any timer spawning weak enemies to recover health during a boss fight.

Trivia

  • The Pillar Statue is the only statue that does not have a base. In addition, pillars are already commonly made of stone making the name a bit redundant: any statue of a pillar would just be a regular pillar.
  • The Shield Statue, when placed, has a design similar to the Cobalt Shield.
  • The Corrupt Statue does not have a Crimson counterpart.
Unimplemented Statues.png
The two unimplemented statues introduced in the 1.3.2 update.
  • (Desktop, Console and Mobile versions) Tile sprites for the Seagull and Owl Statues were added to the game files in 1.3.2, but the items that place them were not implemented until 1.4.0.1.
  • (Old-gen console and 3DS versions) The spawn limit of Duck Statues can be bypassed by placing the statue in water, as swimming ducks do not count towards the cap. This could be used to max out the NPC count, meaning no new NPCs could spawn. This could be used to make the fights with some bosses much easier.
  • Trivia about the Angel Statue:
    • Before the 1.1 update, the Angel Statue could be neither placed nor sold, and had no apparent use in the game. It is the subject of a running in-game joke, whereby NPCs will make reference to its useless nature, though after 1.4.4 it was finally given a purpose.
      • Redigit confirmed that it was originally intended to function as the double jump item, however it was later replaced with the Cloud in a Bottle further in the game's development.[5]
    • The Angel Statue is listed to have five separate item IDs, but all five different statues will stack upon one another in the player's inventory.
