The Viruling is a Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Jungle after Golem has been defeated. It behaves similar to an Eater of Souls, hovering through the air towards the player in attempt to deal contact damage and inflict the Plague debuff.

Tips

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

Trivia

• The Bestiary 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 can be considered a plagued version of the Derpling, although it has a much different behavior.
  • It also appears that the plague has made it more machine-like.
