The Blight Queen

The Blight Queen is an optional Hardmode boss. She can be summoned by breaking Venum Bulbs found in the Hardmode Corruption/Crimson, or by using the Vile/Vicious Crown at night. She appears to be a more sinister version of the Dryad NPC.

Stats

 * 15 Damage

Behavior
The Blight Queen moves around the area by teleporting, and is more likely to teleport if you're nearby. Thus, it's best to use Flails or Boomerangs if you plan on using a melee approach, as it will be more difficult to hit her if you rely on a sword. The Blight Queen will summon large amounts of Blight Crawlers (up to 4 at a time), and will throw Poison Pods frequently. As her health decreases, she'll throw Poison Pods more rapidly, and she'll start releasing Blight Spores* once below half health.

* Blight Spores act similarly to Fungi Spores, and deal equal damage, but they have a chance to inflict the Venom debuff.

Drops

 * Spider Loom

Trivia

 * Despite being summoned using a crown, and being called "The Blight Queen", she wears no visible crown.
