The Plagueshell is a Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Jungle after Golem has been defeated. It behaves identically to a Giant Tortoise, walking around slowly and occasionally retracting into its shell. It then starts spinning and hurling itself towards the player, gaining increased defense, dealing high contact damage and inflicting the Plague debuff. This attack will be interrupted when it takes damage.

In Revengeance Mode and on For the worthy worlds, the Plagueshell can no longer be interrupted while performing its spin attack.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Plagueshell: "A turtle's shell and nervous system are intertwined, making giant tortoises ideal targets for the Plague. Whatever pain is caused by the process of drilling into their shells is rapidly anesthetized, putting the tortoises under control without a single protest."

• It can be considered a plagued version of the Giant Tortoise.
