Sprite:
 
 
"what, no sprite?" Yes, that's because the Eidolon looks different every time. Basically, an Eidolon is a spirit that possesses other mobs, and gives them new AI. Boss mobs cannot be possessed, but any other mob(including NPC's and critters) will have a chance to spawn as an Eidolon. Eidolons look exactly the same as the mob they possess, but can be identified by glowing golden eyes. Eidolon-possessed mobs will be smarter, and can parkour.

They will also no longer jump repeatedly when it is obvious they will not be able to make the jump correctly. When an eidolon is killed, it will attempt to possess another onscreen mob, if it cannot find any within 3 seconds it will despawn. A single eidolon can only possess 2 creatures max, if it gets killed twice it will stay dead.
Eidolons always drop souls of night. Occasionally, an eidolon will spawn without a host. When this happens, it has 5 seconds to find a host. If no mobs(or NPC's) are available, an eidolon will be able to possess an armor stand. It gains the defense of the armor, has 300 health and 80 damage. Eidolons usually only spawn in hardmode, but can spawn very rarely in prehardmode.
