Hello, I have logged over 500 hours on Terraria, but have recently stumbled upon something completely unrecognized. Despite having a Corruption world, my friends and I have discovered Crimson blocks in our world more than once. Yes, this is a multiplayer world, but it is private (only a few friends are using it), and none of us have ever brought in anything from other worlds. We first discovered several blocks of Crimstone in our Jungle, and sure enough, the Dryad told us that our world had 1% Crimson. We quickly took care of it with Purification Powder (this was after WoF, but before the Clentaminator). Some time later, the Dryad began telling us that our world had 1% Crimson AGAIN. We eventually discovered a large amount of Crimson that had spread significantly in a completely different location in our world. This was nowhere near the original Crimson blocks. But again we took care of it, and again the Dryad stopped speaking of Crimson.
For quite some time, we had no Crimson in our world until today when the Dryad, once again, notified us of 1% Crimson in our world, and once again, and it was in a completely different location.
This was clearly not a case of simply missing a block or two, because this spawned in multiple locations within a close vicinity. (There were a couple other blotches of Crimstone off-screen.) And yet, even after Clentaminating all of this, the Dryad STILL says we have 1% Crimson.
Our first thought was that breaking a Demon Altar somehow glitched and spawned Crimson in our world instead of Corruption. However, all of these other Crimson appearances have been long after our last Demon Altar was broken.
Now, up to this point, I was not sure if I should be posting this in the Bug Support subforum due to the random nature of this and how difficult it would be to replicate it. However, I have had my server up while typing this, and after finishing the first paragraph...
...the Brain of Cthulhu spawned. By itself.
We did nothing to spawn it. My friend and I were just chilling at our home. I checked the minimap, but the Brain of Cthulhu was nowhere to be found.
We are freaking out now. It started out as an annoyance, but now we're kind of scared. My next order of business will be to download a program that allows me to view the world and see if I can find anything bizarre. I apologize if this belongs in the Bug Support subforum, but since I see no way of replicating this for the time being (and because the Brain spawn hadn't happened until after I started typing all of this), I am not really sure which is more appropriate.
Any insight is appreciated. I apologize for the large amount of text, but I wanted to provide as much information as possible.
