The Viruling is a Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Jungle during the day after Golem has been defeated. It hovers through the air towards the player and inflicts the Plague debuff on contact.

Tips

  • The Viruling cannot fire any projectiles, so any non-melee attacks are useful for killing it.

Trivia

  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Viruling: "Unlike derplings, who use their proboscis to drain the blood of other creatures, virulings use theirs to inject the plague directly into their victims. Aside from the plaguebringers themselves, no creature is nearly as efficient at contaminating the local wildlife."
  • It appears to be a Derpling afflicted with the plague, although its behavior has changed as a result.
    • The Plague also seems to have made it much more machine-like.
