Eye of Cthulhu
I have thought up of an NPC that will come after all mechanical bosses are defeated. The purpose of this NPC is to sell unstable prototype weapons and other various items. It will defend itself with an energy sword (more on that later). I have not come up with possible names for this NPC yet. It will say things like: "I've finally found a way to use this weapon." and "If you happen to buy one of my items, follow the instructions!" and "Would you like to test this device I've made?" There will be more phrases like those because this thread is a work in progress.
The Mad Scientist will require you to do specific things like kill enemies and give him certain items in order for him to sell his items. The assignments will come at random and each unique assignment will correspond to a certain weapon/item. When you do the same assignment twice you will simply be awarded the value of the weapon that corresponds to the weapon you unlock. He might also award healing potions, mana potions or ores/bars. Now here's the real part of this thread:

Hitpoints: 250

KB resistance: 70%
25% chance of dropping energy sword

Energy sword
(sorry if the sprite is bad. I'm not very good at making sprites. This will appear next to almost every sprite in this thread)

Critical chance: 9%
Speed: 15 (very fast speed)
Knockback: 2 (very weak knockback)
Can auto-fire
Sell price: 2 gold coins
Uses 6 mana
Pierces through enemies
Rarity: Light red
Bought from the Mad scientist for 10 gold coins after you have killed 60 gastropods.
This weapon shoots a constant red beam 3 pixels wide that pierces through all enemies and deals damage 4 times a second. This makes it particularly effective versus grouped enemies or segmented enemies eg. wyvern. (If you didn't know this the formula for shots per second or hits per second is
60 )
use time)
Fragmentation gun
(sorry if the sprite is bad. I'm not very good at making sprites)
Damage: 24
Critical chance: 4%
Speed: 32 (slow speed)
Knockback: 5 (average knockback for initial projectile), 2 (very weak knockback for small bullets)
Cannot auto-fire
Sell price: 1 gold coin and 40 silver coins
Rarity: Pink
Bought from the Mad scientist for 7 gold coins after you have given 12 titanium bars/adamantite bars to the Mad Scientist.
This weapon shoots a large bullet that can split into 5 smaller bullets in mid-air by clicking within 0.5 seconds of firing the original projectile. If you don't make the bullet split, the bullet will hit whatever object as normal, without splitting. Although this behaves very similarly to crystal bullets the crystal bullet splits into smaller shards when it hits objects whereas the fragmentation bullet doesn't split into smaller bullets upon impact with an object.
Uses fragmentation bullets.

Bought from the Mad scientist for 15 gold coins after you have given 8 hallowed bars, 2 chains and 20 cogs to the Mad Scientist.
