Plantera
So, This is my first suggestion! I almost find it weird I haven't done anything yet considering how I used to frequent the suggestion forums.
I've actually been spending about half a month passively building upon ideas, doodling, jotting notes, and this is the result!
Feel free to help rename anything cause I suck with names XD
Yes I renamed them in the last edit
The Three Champions
(place holder)
First off, the player must craft the Challenger's Obelisk (will be described later) and place it anywhere in the world with suitable room (it's tall). The bosses will spawn according to how many hardmode bosses have been defeated. For each boss killed, their spawn chance increases by 5%. For each boss, a segment of the obelisk will glow. The maximum percentage stackable is 50% (each segment is glowing).At the start of the day with the event active, the text "The Challengers have arrived!" and each of the bosses will spawn at the Obelisk closest to the original spawn point in their NPC forms. Yup, that's right, they start as NPCs like the clother and skeletron. And of course, they are immune to damage. To initiate the boss fight, open up the dialogue with one of them and select "challenge". All of them must be fought at once.
Unlike most bosses, if you fail, they don't despawn. They will revert to NPC form, and regain all their health. However they will drop 25% less coins each time you have lost to them (losing four times will deplete the coin drop to 0. They will stay there until they have been defeated.

The Ranger will hover around a target, shooting a piercing shot every 2 seconds.
The drop collector does exactly what it is supposed to do, collect drops. They will no clip through blocks to collect drops and go back to you with the drops. hey can pick up one stack of items each trip.
The Buffer will stay near you, giving you the buff "Ink shield" ( +2 Defense, +2 HP/s Life regen, +5% damage, +20% minion knockback) you can have a maximum of two of these.
Due to the way the staff works, You will get four different minion buff icons. The staff will normally cycle between all four minions in the order of melee, ranged, collector, and buffer before cycling back. However, clicking on an existing minion will summon a minion of the same type.
