The Vampire is a Hardmode enemy that spawns only during a Solar Eclipse. It will transform into a bat if the player is above it or far enough away from it, and attempts to fly near the player at high speed before turning back into a humanoid. It can inflict the Bleeding debuff and is one of the most damaging enemies in a Solar Eclipse.

Notes

Tips

Trivia

  • The theme of almost all of the Solar Eclipse enemies is classic horror film icons. Vampires are a reference to the 1931 American vampire-horror film Dracula.
  • The Stake Launcher's damage bonus references real-life vampire folklore, in which the only way to completely kill a vampire is to drive a wooden stake through its heart.
  • Vampires in modern fiction are often said to be vulnerable to sunlight. While Vampires in Terraria do attempt to flee during the day when the Solar Eclipse is over, like all other enemies, they do not actually take damage from the sun.
  • Sand Sharks use the Vampire's idle audio as their jump attack sound.
  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Vampire: "Whether he is a man who turns into a bat, or a bat who turns into a man, one thing is for sure: he's out for blood!"
