The Astrophage is a pet summoning item that is obtained from Astral and Monolith Crates. It summons an Astrophage to follow the player around. If the player is far away, it will teleport to keep up with them.
Trivia
- The Astrophage is designed and named after bacteriophages, which are real life viruses known for their uniquely insectoid and mechanical appearance.
- An Astrophage-like enemy was originally developed by a community member named L0st_M1ner while Calamity 1.4's Astral Infection expansion was being planned. A pet version of that enemy was added to the Calamity's Vanities fan mod, prior to this redesigned Astrophage pet being added to Calamity proper.
- The name Astrophage roughly translates to "star eater".
