NPCs & Enemies new invasion idea: CLOWN ATTACK

[the shinobi of slime]

this is just a stupid idea I thought up so I figured id post it and see what people think
the clown attack is a hardmode invasion event summoned by the suspicious-looking horn (dropped by the clown enemy that spawns on blood moon) at night, unlike the pirate invasion this is meant for early hardmode and slowly gets more difficult as the player progresses through the world.
when summoned the status message "the circus is coming to town" will appear and the invasion will start.

This goes into a good amount of detail, but I'd really like some specificity on the drops. Here's my take on a few:

Cream Pie: With the same speed, use time, and knockback as a grenade, this item does 100 damage and explodes instantly upon touching any block, dealing no damage to the player. (Size of 2 blocks by 3 blocks)
Unicycle: Has a consistent speed of 30 miles an hour, and will climb up any walls blocking its path by turning to use it as ground, much like a blazing wheel.
Huge saddle: Summons an elephant mount 4 blocks tall and wide. Goes 15mph and does 40 damage to anything caught below it.

In addition to this, perhaps a Tiny Clown Car mount that when used "turns you into a car" that can fit into two block tall spaces and goes around 50 mph?

i know this thread is deader than the slime pet but i figured i'd add some lore entries for the bestiary

puncho: with their big fists and bad attitudes, these clowns are sure to give anyone a red nose

pieface: many chefs have searched for the secret ingredient that gives their pies such an explosive taste... its gunpowder

splodey: as true performers these clowns always ends their show with a bang

cyclo: riding in on their trusty unicycle, these cycling maniacs are hard to keep up with, and even harder to get away from

clown mobile: no one knows just who's behind the wheel of this crazy ride, but whoever they are, they have some serious road rage thanks to dealing with hundreds of back seat drivers

presto: as true magicians, they never reveal their tricks, even when the audience is gone

fatty: these big boys have filled up on too many funnel cakes and as a result are much harder to knock down

MR stilts: short by nature these little munchkins compensate by using stilts to become taller than trees

cannon cart: a mysterious moving cart with a cannon and a lit fuse can only lead to one thing: disaster

cannonball clown: these knuckleheads dont care how many concussions they get, the show must go on!

ringo: a once beloved ringleader of a famous circus, poor ringo was driven to madness by the voices of the corruption and, through torture and mayhem, turned his once fun loving companions into blood thirsty murderers like himself

lion: kept in cages until released to kill, these poor creatures know only to obey the whip
