The Wheezer is a Pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Cavern layer after the Eye of Cthulhu has been defeated. It behaves similarly to a Zombie, walking towards the player in attempt to deal contact damage. When it is in a close distance of the player, it will periodically release a fast-moving gas cloud from its mouth that quickly slows to a halt before slowly fading out. These clouds have a 50% chance to inflict the Poisoned debuff.
It cannot spawn if the player is standing in front of a background wall.
Trivia
- The
Bestiary entry for the Wheezer: "A wheezer is an extremely toxic relative of the salamander, known for aggressive behavior. Oddly enough, their favorite food is a budding holly plant, contradictory to their carnivorous tendencies."
