The Festerfly is a Pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns in The Corruption. It flies directly above the player in attempt to deal contact damage. It surrounds itself with 5 orbiting pesterfly projectiles at all times, which will fly away if the enemy despawns or dies. It will also periodically spawn a Pesterfly every 5 seconds and up to 2 Pesterflies can exist at a time. Pesterflies attack the player by flying towards them to deal contact damage. If they lose contact with the player, they will fly away and despawn.

Trivia

Bestiary entries

• Festerfly: "The putrid scent of the corruption was bound to attract flies, and sure enough, it did. Now corrupted and ravenous, they follow the scent of any fresh meat they can find."
• Pesterfly: "These pests infest the innards of the abominable Festerfly. If you flex hard enough while one is biting you, it might explode."
