The Destroyer
Before I begin, let me just say that this idea will either seem really stupid for some of you, or it might be a fun game changer to think about. I hope it is the latter. ;u;
There are, as many of us know, many ways to fight in Terraria. You can use swords, flails, spells, yoyo's, and even a bunch of little monsters to help you. but now, I propose an all new way to kill stuff you dislike in the game!
Monster Medals.
What exactly are Monster Medals? Well, to put it simply, they are unlimited use, early to late hardmode items that allow the player to transform themselves into a monster, with a price.
below, I've outlined a bit of how they'll work, how they'll be balanced, and how they'll be implemented.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part I: Crafting & Basic Info
A new crafting item will be sold by the Merchant once you get him, for a price of 10 gold...
It is similar to the Empty Bullets the Arms Dealer sells, in that its only use is to be turned into a usable weapon. Functional Medals can be crafted at an anvil, at the price of 1 banner of a monster you've killed. For example...
Crafting recipe: One Green Slime Banner, one Monster Medal.
Crafting Recipe: One Worm banner, one Monster Medal.
Additionally, they can be reforged with Magic Weapon Modifiers.
Hardmode enemy medals might be crafted at a mythril/orichalcum anvil.
All Monster Medals incur common effects...
- Can be passive to same types of monsters( ex. Green Slime friendly to all slimes), unless you attack them, in which case they become hostile.
- Cannot use tools while transformed; you must cancel your transformation first.

Part II: Transformation Info/Examples
Medal Name|Banner Used|Stats|Unique abilities|Cons of Transformation
Green Slime Medal|Green Slime Banner|10 Damage. 'The Basic Slimy Fix.'|Float on water, attack by jumping on top of enemies, jump height bonus| can only move by jumping.
Blue Slime medal|Blue Slime Banner|15 Damage. 'The Blue Slimy Fix'. | Same as Green Slime| can only move by jumping, larger hit-box than green slime.
Toxic Sludge Medal| Toxic Sludge Banner|35 Damage. 'The Happy Toxic Fix.'|Same as Green Slime, but also has chance to inflict poison debuff.| Same as blue slime.
Demon Eye Medal|Demon Eye Banner|15 Damage. 'The Big Pupil Fix.'|Hover right above ground, click direction for charge attack, small flight time.| always affected by knockback.
Giant Worm Medal|Worm Banner|15 Damage. 'The Segmented Fix'|Can pass through most blocks, except lihzard and other high-tier blocks. Attack by hitting with worm head.| Can't move without blocks, no light, defense halved if not in blocks.
Giant Tortoise Medal|Tortoise Banner|50 Damage. ' The Shelled Fix'|Click to jump up, then slam down into enemies, knocking then back. Can roll forward with 5 second cooldown.| Amazingly slow, in water and on land.
Unicorn Medal|Unicorn Banner|40 Damage. 'The Fabulous Rainbow Fix'| Double tap to charge through an enemy, can run really fast.| Charging through is risky.
Skeleton Medal|Skeleton Banner|20 Damage. 'The Skinny Skeletal Fix'|Click to throw bones.| Only has basic character movement.
Imp Medal|Fire Imp Banner|28 Damage. 'The Fiery Little Fix'| Right Click to teleport to a location with 10 second cooldown, click to throw fireballs.|Can only move via teleport.
Well, this is all so far. Please let me know what you think, suggest changes, and all that good stuff. This is a very rough idea, so any feedback is welcome.
