The Gloom

"Making the world hopeless..." - world generation text.
The Gloom is a hazardous surface biome that represents an emotionless and gray theme in contrast to The Sorrow's depressing blue theme. The world will either spawn The Gloom or The Sorrow. The Gloom has its own unique enemies, items and blocks.

The tools, weapons, and armor have a minor advantage than those from The Sorrow, but despite the advantages the enemies in The Gloom have higher stats and might be harder to kill for new players. The Gloom has multiple chasms that go in a zigzag line, then they branch off and lead to Gloom Gems. Gloom Altars usually appear above or below the chasms.

The chasms are lined with Dismalnite which replaces stone, it also replaces grass with Gloomgrass and wood with Gloomwood. In hardmode, it can replace sand with Gloomsand and ice with Dismalice.
