Bestiary entry

Long after forseeing the destruction of their tribe, these once elite mages now follow in the footsteps of their brethren, seeking to rebuild.

The Winterborn Herald is a Pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Ice biome after Skeletron has been defeated. It does not deal contact damage, and attacks by either firing Ice Bolts at the player, or by summoning a Frost Portal 17 blocks above the player's head that rains down Frost Shards. While the quest "Beneath the Ice" is active, Winterborn Heralds have a 1/5 (20%) chance to drop a Hyperborean Relic. In order to complete this quest, the player can choose to kill 5 Winterborn / Winterborn Heralds, or talk to an Icebound Soul.

Notes

• The only statistic that is increased in Expert Mode is knockback resistance, all others remain unchanged.
