Preface
Fallen meteors are sorely lacking in content compared to the rest of the game. It’s gone from necessary progression to a small annoyance that is at times flat out ignored. Even when meteor is sought after, it's a dull, forgettable experience.
Meteor Heads no longer constantly spawn, rather, they only spawn whilst the player is near a Meteor Watcher, making mining meteorite a bit less of a hassle.
Pre-Hardmode
Meteor Berserker
Damage: 26
Health: 120
Defense: 7(While Prone) 17(While Charging)
The berserker spawns as a pile of meteorite. When the player gets close, or it is attacked, it forms into a golem type enemy.
The berserker moves at a slow pace, but when the berserker is damaged, it charges towards the player. The berserker will immediately begin charging if it is attacked while in a pile.

The meteor shower is an event can happen at any time after a meteor has landed and a boss has been defeated. A meteor shower has a 20% chance of happening when night starts, after the first shower, the event chance is lowered to 4% per night. Meteor Showers end at daybreak.
When the event begins, the text “A meteor shower is happening!” will be displayed in chat, and while above ground the background will be overlaid with meteors falling.
This is what I imagine the music would sound a bit like.
