Ask a Derpling anything.

[Dapling]

Which of your suggestions do you like the most and least?

I actually really like most of them, but my favorite is probably Cursed Accessories, as I let myself get pretty creative on that one. Also, alliteration

My least favorite is probably Rebalancing Grappling Hooks, as while I meant well, my research was VERY poorly done

Your Derpling accessors must've be slacking then?

Yes, a terrarian did a great job correcting what I was misinformed on though.

 

[The Storm]

Maybe he should be hired as an accessor.

 

[Dapling]

only one Terrarian has ever been recruited by Derplings and wasn't created by them, and it wasn't for assessment. The Terrarian in question was HUN-TR355, and she serves as the last line of defense if an extremely powerful threat somehow defeats the Guardians.

 

[Enchanted Sword Ω]

what is your favorite weapon in terraria? (in your headcanon, in the actual game, and in mods)

 

[Dapling]

what is your favorite weapon? (in your headcanon and in the actual game)

I have a tie between two. I like them in both headcanon and actual game, so lump them into whatever suits your preference.
The Stardust Cell Staff. It has like four different gimmicks in one weapon, and you know how much I love gimmicks. Doesn't mean it's as good as the Dragon, though.
The Xenopopper. It's very creative, and you can do all sorts of cool things with it. It's also not game-breaking, which is always nice.

So, if Herplings are Crimsonified Derplings, are there Corrupted Derplings? Are Herplings considered traitors?

 

[Dapling]

So, if Herplings are Crimsonified Derplings, are there Corrupted Derplings? Are Herplings considered traitors?

No, The Crimson trapped and slowly turned them into Herplings against their will. We have been too cautious to allow the Corruption to corrupt any of us.

Where were the Derplings before 1.2?

 

[FrostbiteCalling128]

Where were the Derplings before 1.2?

They were probably in a plane higher than mortal existance before deciding to toil (and attempt to destroy) us, lower-leveled Terrarians.

When you said plane I immediately though of this:

OH MY GOD THAT IS AMAZING
(but i meant plane, as in:
"a level of thought, existence, or development," from Merriam-Webster)

We did exist in the Archipelago, we just weren't nearly as strong as we are now, so we hid.
We really aren't trying to destroy the Terrarians, they are just so fascinating and their abilities have so much depth that we are always assessing them. They (usually) can't truly be destroyed anyway.

oh cool, that makes way much more sense than what i said

Until a Selenian reflects your modded rocket back at you, one shotting you.

Can Derplings pilot a plane?

those mother freaking selenians man

Can Derplings pilot a plane?

Yes, but then you just come back 10 seconds later, that's what I meant.

Messengers can pilot any vehicle. I can't, but I could learn if I tried.

 

[Spazmatism7]

In your a opinion, what is the Derpling's greatest achievment?

 

[Dapling]

In your a opinion, what is the Derpling's greatest achievment?

Well, the most difficult thing was creating the Great Seal to hide the moon lord away, but we had help and weren't even true derplings yet…

I think our greatest achievement was getting to the point where it costs almost nothing for us to create demiplanes, as most races can't even fathom being able to create one.
