The Splinterling is a Hardmode, post-Plantera enemy that begins to spawn during wave 2 of the Pumpkin Moon event. It is one of the only sources of Spooky Wood, the other being the Mourning Wood.

Defeating a Splinterling during the Pumpkin Moon event will add 2 / 4 / 5 points to the final score.

The Splinterling requires 150 kills to be awarded completion of its Bestiary entry and corresponding banner, as opposed to the usual 50 kills.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Splinterling: "Mourning Woods reproduce by snapping cuttings from their bodies and thrusting them into the soil. Splinterlings are the result."

• This entry alludes to a real-life method of propagation, in which a cutting from a plant is taken and grown into a duplicate plant.
