This is the article's intro. General information about the NPC goes here, with the first mention (and only the first mention) of the NPC in bold. Add defining characteristics, a brief description of its function, and under what circumstances it can be acquired. Also see the common intro guidelines.

For more intricate spawn conditions, it is also possible to use a bullet list with the different criteria, for instance:

• There is a vacant house.
• The Eye of Cthulhu has been defeated.
• It is nighttime.

The last paragraph here should consist of a description of the NPC's self-defense capabilities. Remember to include {{eicons|1.3.0.1}} or {{eversions|1.3.0.1}}.
