Plague Chargers are Hardmode enemies that spawn in the Jungle after the Golem has been defeated. They come in two different variations, normal and large, with varying size, health, damage, and loot.

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 appears to be a bee or Hornet inflicted by the plague.
• Several Plague Chargers of both sizes were also summoned by The Plaguebringer Goliath boss and the Plaguebringer miniboss. This was removed in version 1.5.1.001.
