Mysterious Smoking Asteroid

The Mysterious Smoking Asteroid is a special block which there is only one of in the entire world, spawning in between one of the Asteroids in the world's Space biome. It is slightly darker than a normal Asteroid (block), and emits extremely faint smoke particles. One behavioral difference is that it inflicts the Burning debuff onto the player upon touch, like Meteorite. Since it is endgame, it can only be mined with a Solar Flare Pickaxe, Vortex Pickaxe, Stardust Pickaxe or Nebula Pickaxe, which one is able to make after defeating Moon Lord.

The Mysterious Smoking Asteroid is essential and the very first step to summoning the last Hardmode boss, The Doom.

Once it is collected, the player will need to make a Cryptic Old Skull as the next step.

It also has a tooltip, unlike nearly every block that spawns in the world itself.

"The future cause of catastrophy... Doom..."
