VampireHardmode exclusive
The Vampire is a Hardmode enemy that spawns during the Solar Eclipse event. 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 inflicts the Bleeding debuff upon contact with the player for 5–7 / 10–14 / 12.5–17.5 seconds, and is one of the most dangerous enemies during a Solar Eclipse.
Notes
Tips
- Due to low lighting during a Solar Eclipse and the small size of the Vampire in its bat form, it may be difficult to see before it strikes the player. Therefore, using a Hunter Potion and artificial lighting (including light pets like the Wisp in a Bottle or the buff of the Shine Potion) is recommended.
- On the Nintendo 3DS
version, a Vampire can keep up with or outrun a player with Hermes Boots, even when it is not in its bat form.
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
Bestiary 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!"
