The Arterial Grasper is a Pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Underground Crimson. It is completely stationary and hooks on to nearby tiles using chains of flesh. Every 3 seconds, it releases 5 slow-moving blood clumps in random directions. It will only fire blood clumps if the player is within a range of 35 tiles.

Notes

• The player can be alerted of its presence by listening for a heartbeat sound while in the Underground Crimson.
• It will always fire blood clumps for as long as there is a player within 35 tiles, the same range as the heartbeat sound effect plays.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Arterial Grasper: "These beating organs are vital to the crimson's ensured survival * they pump blood into the biome's squelching stone, granting it the strength to spread and support its extremities."
