The Mauler is a post-Moon Lord mini boss that spawns during Acid Rain during Tier 3. It is accessible after Polterghast has been defeated. It swims towards the player and alternates between three attacks at random, each telegraphed by a different roar.

  • Quickly lunges at the player.
  • Fires three spreads of Sulphuric Acid BubbleSulphuric Acid Bubbles that home in on the player after a delay.
  • Charging horizontally and firing a large barrage of Acid DropletAcid Droplets upwards, which home in on the player after a delay.

If it is out of the water for too long, it will start repeatedly using its charge attack until it lands back in water again.

It can be detected with the Lifeform Analyzer.

Notes

  • Shark Fins dropped by the Mauler will be brown in color Mauler Shark Fin.png, much like the Shark Fins dropped by Sand Sharks.
  • In the Get fixed boi seed, Maulers explode into a circle of 50 sulphuric acid mists and bubbles upon death.

Trivia

  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Mauler: "Powerful radiation has caused prehistoric genes to reawaken in this shark, granting it overwhelming speed and strength. The insatiable hunger of this beast draws it to the shoreline during acidic rainstorms for a feeding frenzy."
  • The Mauler formerly spawned randomly in the Sulphurous Sea regardless of progression or what events were taking place.
    • Additionally, when out of the water for too long, the Mauler exploded instead of trying to charge back into the water. This method of killing the Mauler did not give any loot.
  • If the Boss Checklist Mod is installed, its unique despawn message will be "The brutish shark looks elsewhere to turn its aggression."
