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

Killing 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 BestiaryBestiary 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 the real-life practice of propagation, in which a cutting from a plant is taken and grown into a duplicate plant.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.4:
    • Health increased from 900 to 1200.
    • Due to increased number present in the event, increased the kill count needed for a banner.
    • Reduced base Spooky Wood drop count due to increased numbers of Splinterlings killed per Pumpkin Moon. However, due to the faster point gain in Expert/Master, they now have bonus drop quantities in Expert and Master.
