Bestiary Feedback
#1
Some entities are missing relevant filters:
– Golden critters should be filtered under "Rare Creature", and so should the Truffle Worm and Prismatic Lacewing, as all can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer. Fairies could also be included, as they are also detected by the Lifeform Analyzer.
– Lavaflies are not sorted under "Nighttime", despite only spawning in the Underworld while it is night.

– For some reason, basic Antlions are only categorized as Underground Desert enemies, despite also spawning on the surface.
#2
A number of rarity star ratings are inaccurate. Here are my suggestions:
NPCs
– Zoologist: 5 -> 2 [Five doesn't reflect that you can get her relatively early]
– Dryad: 3 -> 2 [To match Witch Doctor and Clothier, who also appear after defeating bosses]
– Tavernkeep: 2 -> 3 [To reflect that you have to find them after defeating a boss]
– Mechanic: 2 -> 3 [To reflect that you have to find them after defeating a boss]
– Pirate: 2 -> 3 [To match Steampunker, as both NPCs have similar requirements]
Critters
– Truffle Worm: 1 -> 3 [Better reflects its actual rarity, and matches Prismatic Lacewing]
#4
As I have previously mentioned, Spiked Slimes and Pirates' Curses should be added to the Bestiary (the former being tied to King Slime's defeat).
#5
All bosses' servants should automatically be added when their respective boss is defeated, to avoid tedium.
#6
The numbering and ordering of enemies is currently quite chaotic. A few specific examples:
– Pre-Hardmode enemies and Hardmode enemies are freely mixed in each section, without any sense of progression.
– The giant Antlion variations are numbered before the smaller variations, with gaps of many enemies in between.
– Martian Saucer appears before Eye of Cthulhu under "Boss Enemies", in the first slot, when it should be before either Duke Fishron or Lunatic Cultist (reflecting its post-Golem place in the progression). Alternatively, it could be removed from boss sorting and placed earlier, with the other Martian Madness enemies.
#7
In the filter menu, Martian Madness should be placed after Eclipse, Pumpkin Moon, and Frost Moon, which better reflects its place in the progression. Party could also be placed with the holiday events, between "Frost Moon" and "Halloween".
#8
A Slime Rain filter would be an excellent addition (applying to Green/Blue/Purple Slime, Pinky, and King Slime). Similarly, a Meteor Shower filter for Enchanted Nightcrawlers would be excellent (similar to how the Party filter exists for hat-wearing Bunnies).
#9
The Blizzard filter is present on the Ice Golem enemy, but is not present in the menu. This should be rectified, and would be particularly important if the Blizzard event is changed to exclude regular Rain enemies and have Ice biome enemies spawn on the surface (as I have previously suggested).
#10
Some enemies, such as Nymphs and other enemies from the rare creatures list, should require less than 50 kills to fill out their information.
