The Glade Wraith is a Pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns in The Briar during the night after the Eye of Cthulhu has been defeated. It can also be manually summoned by destroying the Bone Altars found in Briar Huts, or by using a Glade Wreath found in Briar Chests.

Behavior

The Glade Wraith attacks the player by flying towards them to deal contact damage and using its own set of attacks in the following order.

Attacks

• Fires 3 overgrowth leaves at the player that dissipate after traveling a moderate distance or upon hitting a tile.
• Stops in place and throws 6 thorn balls directly on the player's current position, which are affected by gravity and bounce around 3 times before dissipating on the last bounce.
• Dashes at the player at a moderate speed to deal contact damage.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Glade Wraith: "Despite the Briar's unnatural creeping presence, it has left its mark on nature just long enough for these vengeful spirits to call it home."
