The Arachmaton is a Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Marble Caves. It functions similar to a Blazing Wheel, moving along on tiles in attempt to deal contact damage. It will occasionally stop in place and launch 2 spinning cog wheels which move slow for a brief moment before quickly accelerating on tiles and disappear after traveling for a moderate amount of time. The gears move similar to Blazing Wheels. Upon contact, it has a chance to inflict the Broken Armor debuff.
Enchantment
There is a 1/15 (6.67%) chance for an Arachmaton to become enchanted, increases to 1/5 (1/20%) if the player has the Heresy buff. While enchanted, its maximum health increases by 50%, allows it to drop Olympium Tokens upon death, and gives the enemy one of the following effects.
| Image | Name | Description |

Asclepius | Fires 3  Orbs of Asclepius that each heal an injured enemy for 40 health. If there are any injured enemies within 37.5 blocks, it will use this ability every 2.7 seconds.

Hecate | Fires a  Rune of Hecate towards the player every 5 seconds, which passes through tiles and deals the same amount of damage as the enchanted enemy.
|
 |
Hestia | Sends out a beam to up to 3 nearby enchantable enemies, creating a triplet of  Runes of Hestia around them, which increase their damage by 20% and defense by 15.

Nemesis | Spawns a  Sword of Nemesis above the enemy, which swings at the player 3 times before vanishing. Each swing does the same amount of damage as the enchanted enemy.

Notes
- If there are no tiles for the Arachmaton to move on, it will continue to move through the air until there are suitable tiles for it to move on.
- This also applies to the projectiles it fires.
Trivia

Bestiary entry for the Arachmaton: "Forged from brass, a sturdy metal. Makes a lasting frame. A core from marble, containing untapped magic. This gives it mind. And at last, the spark of life. Roam free, new friend."
