Hello everyone, this is Vlad 
(or darkrown, whatever you prefer, lol). Here's my second suggestion for improving the other less loved brother of the Ocean, the ever ignored Desert Biome. Right now, it stands at a grand total of 3 unique mobs (not including the Mummy variations) and almost zero use post Hardmode. Here's my attempt to change this status and make it more of a counterpart to the Jungle, also expanding on the role of the obsolete Pyramid.
DESERT EXPANDED
H I S S I N G W A S T E S
☀
LAYOUT
The Desert undergoes minor changes in width and a major expansion in depth. Dry Sand now spawns in Deserts; a reddish, more desaturated version of regular sand that isn't affected by gravity and allows the formation of an Underground Desert Biome. The Pyramid is also a guaranteed spawn now; it becomes much larger and labyrinthine, spawning at greater depths. It cannot be accessed without the Pyramid key that drops from one of the new bosses.
An example of the new pyramid's possible layout. The player is stalked by Golden Scarabs while attempting to evade the attack of a Possessed Idol.

BOSS
ANTLION DUNEMOTHER
Antlion Egg Sac; spawns rarely in large caverns. Break to spawn
MAX HP: 3800
DAMAGE: 25
DEFENSE: 4
SPAWN: Below Cavern layer (Sand Caves). Break Antlion Eggsac to spawn. Alt crafting method: Pheromone Emitter to spawn
My Desert biome is structured as a sort of equivalent to the Jungle, so the Antlion Dunemother would be the Desert Queen Bee.
Attack patterns would be largely the same as the Queen's, with minor differences. The Dunemother burrows herself in the walls of the cave then lunges at the player, not unlike the worm AI. Every now and then, she will surface to shoot a volley of sand at the player, during which she is most vulnerable.

GOLDEN SCARAB
MAX HP: 260
DAMAGE: 55
DEFENSE: 30
SPAWN: Hardmode, Pyramid only.
Just like the Possessed Idols, the Scarabs initially lay dormant on the walls of the Pyramid and can be confused with a wall sculpture that looks exactly the same apart from the ruby at the center of the Scarab's body. Once the player passes below them, they will drop down and start pursuing them. They can also shoot fast travelling laser projectiles from their ruby and their attacks slow the player by 25%.

BOSSES
FACES OF ISIS
MAX HP: 29000
DAMAGE: 45
DEFENSE: 15
SPAWN: Hardmode, below Cavern layer (Sand Cave). Break Isis' Vestige to summon (sprites coming soon)
If the Antlion Dunemother is the Queen Bee equivalent, the Faces of Isis replace Plantera. The boss doesn't have phases, but acts like a mix between the BoC and the Pumpking. During the fight, she will continuously summon Lesser Vestiges (the floaty things around her); she will also switch faces continuously. The different faces affect the Vestiges' behaviour:
Blue: The Vestiges shoot slow projectiles that travel through walls and inflict the chilled debuff for 8 seconds.
Green: The Vestiges shoot small, fast travelling projectiles that bounce and split in two once on contact with a solid surface. Projectiles also inflict Venom for 8 seconds.
Red: The Vestiges seek out the player; on certain proximity, they explode, dealing double damage and spreading shrapnel in 2 random directions that inflicts regular damage. The initial blast also inflicts the On Fire! debuff for 3 seconds.
As the fight moves on, she becomes quicker and nimbler.

Every 15 seconds, a laser beam will form between the gems on the halves' headpieces. The boss will then quickly move up and down in an attempt to hit the player with the beam. Every now and then, the two halves will also shoot volleys of slow moving projectiles at the player
The Halves don't share HP; each has 18000 max HP. When one of the halves dies, the other becomes enraged and gains freedom of movement. It will also start pursuing the player more aggresively and doing a new version of the laser beam attack that rotates at a 180 angle

The Seer Set Diverges into two paths, similar to the Spectre Set: one is the pure damage dealer via the Mask, especially effective with rapid firing weapons such as the Razorpine or the Blizzard Staff. The other one is the tanky caster, the Battlemage, if you will. Wizards have a lot of mana, why not use it? The set effect amplifies mana regen by 2.5x . Of course, at the cost of mobility, something that might just kill an unprepared mage.
SET EFFECT: Hood: Standing still causes the orbs above the player to fill one at a time over 2 seconds.. When all three are powered, grants greatly increased mana regeneration and causes 50% of damage taken to affect mana instead of health as long as the player stands still.
Mask: Attacking with magic weapons causes the orbs above the player to fill one at a time. When all three are powered, the next hit caused by a magic weapon depletes the gems and deals 2.5x damage. An orb is powered each time the player lands a hit with a magic weapon.
