NPCs & Enemies Spirit of the Water Boss - The Alpha

The Destroyer
Second part to my biome boss series, first here.
This one is battled in the snow biome. You can leave the battle during the fight, no worries. He only enters enraged mode which quintuples all his stats.
The Alpha
You see, I'd make concept art, but I'm not confident I can draw a wolf with a mouse.
Summoned by using a Wolf's Skin, which is crafted from 5 Souls of Night, 3 Souls of Fright, and 1 Frost Core
Health: 35000/70000
Damage: 30/60 (Body) 50/100 (Minions) 15/30 (Ice Shards) 25/50 (Rainwater) 80/160 (Moonshine)
Immune to knockback
First phase
Attacks: It runs at the player at full speed, tucking in, and striking past. It does this dash 3 times, then summons 3 small puppy minions. These behave in the same way as the Alpha. It periodically releases a thundercloud above the player, which follows the player, but does not stay directly above the player at all times. It behaves like an Angry Nimbus.
Once it reaches 17,500 HP, it enters its second phase. Its eyes begin to glow, and its minions disappear.
Attacks: It repeats its previous attacks, but doesn't summon minions. It shoots off ice shards from its fur, similar to the Lunatic Cultist. At 200 HP, it releases an unavoidable Moonshine.
If you can somehow beat it, here are your spoils:

40-87 Freezy Essence(100%)
5 Greater Healing potions (100%)
