Good Idea. I'll update his sprite soon.While I love it, I don't think death matches the theme of the mechanical bosses. Maybe if you make him a little bit mechanical too? I think a steam punk death would look rad.
Although refrences are nice and somewhat funny, I think there should be at least one set of armor that isn't at the very least a dead give away of a refrence

Saturn is Chronos, in greco-roman mythology. Saturn is a god of time and wields a scythe, that's one of the reasons we associate the Scythe (a not protical weapon at all) as the tool of death. At this suggestion, may I ask, the "creator" as a god of terraria or the creator of the mechs? I'm leaning more towards the latter. And it's a really fun suggestion. The mechs never really had any explanation to their existence and why they are indeed upgrades to the 3 main prehardmode bosses. And if he is the creator of the mechs, it would only make sense for him to have done upgrades on himself, i.e the Steampunk Death suggested above. Another thing is: I guess it would be better for him to have a dialogue box similar to the Old Man's, with an option to trigger his boss fight at any time.s this supposed to be Satan's Sickle? I.e. the devil? Most people will know Saturn as the planet.
First off, I believe the creator did change it already, and I'm guessing of terraria was intended, but Mechs would be a more sensible basis.Saturn is Kronos, in greco-roman mythology.
