Plague Chargers are Hardmode enemies that spawn in the Jungle after Golem has been defeated. They come in 2 different variants, normal and large, each with varying stats and loot. They attack by flying into the player to deal contact damage and inflict them with the Plague debuff. They can also target other enemies (including themselves) but are unable to deal contact damage to them.

Notes

• Due to their targeting ability, they will most likely target other nearby Plague Chargers instead of the player or other enemies.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Plague Charger: "Spawn of the plaguebringers, these were born already taken by Draedon's nanomachines. Nanites ensure they reach adulthood in a matter of hours by supercharging their aging process, even if this means their lifespan can be counted in days. Yet, this is exactly what makes them the perfect dispensable soldiers."

• It can be considered a plagued version of the Hornet.
• Prior to version 1.5.1.001, several Plague Chargers of both sizes were also summoned by The Plaguebringer Goliath boss and the Plaguebringer miniboss.
