NPCs & Enemies Shimmer For Old-Gen Enemies

Many of the people out there who have been playing Terraria for long while may remember that back in 1.2, there were enemies that had a chance to spawn that were just alternate versions of other enemies we have today.

This list includes:

View attachment 397885Arch Wyvern
View attachment 397886Dragon Hornet
View attachment 397887Dragon Snatcher

View attachment 397889Orca
View attachment 397890Shadow Hammer
View attachment 397891Shadow Mummy
View attachment 397892Spectral Elemental
View attachment 397893Spectral Gastropod
View attachment 397894Spectral Mummy
View attachment 397895Vampire Miner

But these enemies, as well as a lot of other stuff, were cut in 1.3.
But then, in 1.4.4, Shimmer was introduced.
A magical liquid that changer the appearance or use of whatever it touches!
That got me thinking.

So now I'm here to propose to you, what if putting an Antlion in Shimmer would produce an Albino Antlion, and the same with all the other enemy counterparts.

But you may be wondering, then what?
Well, wouldn't it be awesome for them to drop themselves exclusive items?
I'd say it'd be best if the items either had no super useful effect or, my favorite, are completely useless with difficulty scaling.
Make these enemies drop the weapons and armor such as The Tonbogiri or Dragon Armor, but make them post-Moonlord. And who knows, maybe they could keep the same effects and attacks, or they could be reworked like the Terra Blade line.
Or just make them drop pets of themselves like the master mode drops.

All in all, doubt this will do anything but it's fun to think about. Anyways, hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
Yea more enemies banners and drops is always nice
