If you could add a boss to any biome, which one would you add it to?

[Icyfoe88]

• Sand Elemental (Sandstrom Event).
• Ice Golem (Blizzard Event).
• Dreadnautilus (Blood Moon Event).
• Mothron (Solar Eclipse Event).

I’d personally consider these 4 mini bosses, which are still technically bosses.

I don't disagree, but the line keeps getting blurrier, because then how would you rank:

• Evil Clown (Blood Moon Event).
• Dungeon Guardian (progression barrier).
• Wyvern (Space Biome)
• Biome Mimics (World Evil/ Hallow)

On top of that, suggesting that there's anything "mini" about Dreadnautilus is a stretch! That Boss/ Enemy is arguably one of the toughest in the entire game, unless of course you borrow speed running strats from YouTube.

My only personal answer has always been, so long as the Enemy has a banner, it's not a Boss... but I haven't killed enough of some of these opponents to know if they actually do or not.

Evil Clown (Blood Moon Event).

800 health compared to the earlier four who Are in the thousands, evil clown is a bit tankier than the average enemy but isn’t powerful enough to be a mini boss

Dungeon Guardian (progression barrier).

Its not something you are intended to kill during a normal play through, so I’m going to say its more of an Easter egg, but that in itself is up to interpretation.

Wyvern (Space Biome)

Has a more basic AI compared to golem, elemental, dread, and mothron, as each of these four do something other than just ramming at you, even mothron has the egg laying attack.

Biome Mimics (World Evil/ Hallow)

Biome mimics... are tricky. They could be seen either way, as while they do have unique attack patterns, one could also say that every single one of the biome mimics attacks are just variants of jumping around.

In conclusion, clown, guardian, and wyvern imo no, biome mimic is a maybe.

Anything that appears on the Tally Counter when you damage it has a banner. So all those enemies you mentioned aren’t bosses, because they appear on the Tally Counter and don’t have boss health bars.

So... do you consider yourself a Boss or not Dready-naughty??

Ice Golem and Sand elemental have banners, and yet They don’t seem to be any different from the other mini bosses. They spawn during an event, (Sand storm and blizzard), They have more than one attack, they are much bulkier than the average enemy at that point of the game. If we could identify why they are considered separate beings it could really help.

Technically I’m not one but I should be one. All I need are Expert and Master exclusive drops.

 

[Dapling]

I'd add a boss to Space, actually. It really has more potential than just tiny floating islands and 2 enemies.

 

[RIDZ]

Snow could have a frozen hydra dragon that resembles the frost hydra staff or maybe a King Penguin that has a different variant depending on if its corrupted, crimson or natural
And maybe the spider cave, it serves no purpose other then getting spider armor or the stylist maybe a tarantula or a Goliath bird eater

 

[Talus]

the desert itself is a boss technically in early pre Hardmode, the purity should be peaceful.

 

[Icyfoe88]

And we have our first person wanting another boss for the hallow. Truly one of the Hallows most dedicated cultists fans.

Why should the hallow get another boss if it already has two, is what I wonder.

Because the ever encroaching armies of the hallow are unstoppable, the invasion has already begun.

Hallowed desert or Hallowed ice exclusive maybe

I'd like to see a desert boss.

The desert in Terraria is so well done. Other than the jungle, it is one of the only biomes in Terraria that shows an apparent ecosystem and a dominating species. However, a desert boss could serve as the cherry on top. It could serve as the big baddie of the desert, the top of the food chain, the forbidden apex predator. I'd say a meat-eating scorpion that is around the size of the king slime. It will claw at you, it will roll at you, and it won't give up until it draws its final breath. I'm not ever going to consider a bird type or worm type boss in the desert because both ideas are overdone and abused to oblivion.

There are other biomes that lack bosses, such as the glowing mushroom biome and the tundra/taiga, but I'm not going to write a whole chapter of boss ideas and make other ideas obsolete.

I totally forgot about that boss.

Scarabeus is also another really well done Desert boss that isn't a worm or bird.

 

[Terrariapro100]

I like crab boi and think that there should be a glowing mushroom boss so I voted for them.

I feel like making a Queen Antlion boss would be more fitting. It would parallel Queen Bee, but could operate closer to how the antlion chargers do instead of being a straight ripoff. Maybe shoot out antlion larva? Making the boss an antlion would fit with the theme of the Underground Desert, and the desert during Sandstorms.

If we're going the apex predator route instead of staying with antlions, though, the giant scorpion is perfect.

If you could choose any biome to add a boss to, which one would you add a boss to? This is including mini biomes such as spider caves and marble/granite, and I would like to see what biome everyone thinks needs a boss.

Imagine a marble boss though
