Resting sprites

The Cavern Bandit is a Pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Cavern layer. Similarly to the Lost Girl, it starts out in a resting state, waiting for the player to approach it. When provoked, it attacks the player by swinging its pickaxe to deal contact damage. It also has a Magic Lantern that moves above it, which lights up the surrounding area and hints at one of its potential drops.

Notes

• Its hostile radius is quite small at the range of 6.25 tiles, as such it can be easily avoided by straying a farther distance.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Cavern Bandit: "Some people go mining for the resources, others for the sport. These malicious marauders delve to hunt those people."
