The Hallow
The Hallow is one of my all time favorite biomes. The unique aesthetic, the chaos enemies, and the beautiful underground. But sometimes it feels a little lackluster. For instance, on the surface there are only 3 enemies, and one only spawns at night. (not counting desert and the incredibly rare rain enemy). This suggestion aims to change that, including more enemies, better atmosphere, and even some drops. Lets get right into it!
VEGETATION
The surface of the Hallow is the place that needs the most work. It looks pretty good at first, but then you notice that there are the same ugly orange mushrooms that are in the forest. The only unique vegetation is the Pearlwood trees, and they have no useful drops. How about some new plant life?NEW ENEMIES
As said before, there needs to be a few more enemies on the surface. Hardmode is supposed to be dangerous, but every trip i go to the Hallow, it seems that the single unicorn and the three pixies that spawn are the only dangers.I recently played a playthrough with the Antiaris mod, and i completely LOVE the different colored pixies with the small pixies floating around them. I am not going to completely copy the colored pixies, but i feel that small pixies that sometimes spawn with larger pixies would be an amazing addition. They can also spawn by themselves uncommonly. Small pixies do 60 damage 120 damage and have 100 life 200 life. cluster of pixies
This enemy is a revision to the old Leperchaun o'Fyffe pet from the mobile Terraria edition. He acts like a Chaos elemental, teleporting in showers of gold when hit. He drops a large amount of money when killed. Leperchauns have 70 life 140 life and do 65 damage 110 damage. About as common as Unicorns.
AESTHETIC
The theme of the Hallow is light. Yet, for some reason, it is dark as any old biome at night. Since the theme is light, things should be lit up, dont you think?-Gastropods now give off more light
-Hallowed grass glows slightly
-Lightning bugs spawn a lot more.

AESTHETIC
The same things as the surface, including-glowing particles are everywhere, to give a whimsical feel
-crystals give off a small amount of light
STRUCTURE
Pretty much all biomes get at least one structure, such as their own underground cabin variant. The Hallow is left with jack squat. There should be an underground shrine, containing basic loot, such as titanium bars and good potions.
