NPCs & Enemies Corrupt and Crimsoned Derplings

[Ludolf🌳🥐🐿️🦍]

In 1.4.4, the Jungle was changed so it could be infected by world evils, instead of drying out and becoming dirt, creating a Forest when purified. So, I suggest that a corrupt or crimsoned version if Jungle enemies should appear, similar to Mummies, Ghouls and Pigrons. I decided to do Derplings, but other Jungle enemies could work like Moths or Hornets. Their stats would be similar, along with drops, though the corrupted/crimsoned Derplings could drop Elderberries/Black Currants or Blood Oranges/Rambutans instead of Grapes. They could also drop Monster Meat instead of Glommer's Flower. They could also be the exact same, just different appearance wise. Speaking of, I made some concept sprites for them. Here they are:

Spoiler: Corrupt Derpling

Spoiler: Crimsoned Derpling

All in all, these wouldn't change much, but add a little variety to the game.

Herplings in the Crimson already function pretty much the same as Derplings, even the same AI if I remember right.
It would be nice to see some Corrupt and Crimson Jungle enemies since it can now be properly infected though, I'd really enjoy a Corrupt/Crimson Jungle feeling like a complete biome, because right now it feels a little like an afterthought like Desert and Ice biomes did in 1.1. Adding some unique enemies, even if just variants like the infected Underground Desert/Ice enemies, would be real nice

Unique variants would be fire and they maybe drop a unique item may it be accessory weapon or food item welcome additon

I quite like the idea of something like a Derpling Spring, which is an accessory that lets you leap diagonally with high acceleration. It'd be pretty cool having another movement option. Maybe it could even combine with the Frog Gear into Derpling Gear or something. Frog Legs are already used because they give a useful vertical boost when jumping, which lets you avoid things by ascending faster - what if we had that diagonally too? It'd make you hop just like Derplings.

Agreed derpling spring could be nice
