The Haunted Tome is a Pre-Hardmode enemy that is found as a placed book on the Dungeon Shelf in Dark Sepulchre structures. It will spawn when the player clicks on the dark green book on the shelf, similar to picking up a Water Bolt.

Behavior

The Haunted Tome attempts to stay a close distance to the player and will attack them by stopping in place and using two alternating attacks.

Attacks

• Summons 9 screaming skulls that orbits above itself for a brief moment before launching the skulls directly at the player's position, indicated by the enemy flashing green.
• Summons 4 pieces of paper in random directions that magically fold into paper airplanes and then the airplanes will quickly fly towards the player before losing momentum after flying a moderate distance.

If the enemy despawns or dies, all projectiles will dissipate.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Haunted Tome: "A warding glyph was placed on this tome to protect it from improper use. Unfortunately for you, that means staring down a book with 20 canines."
