Don't take this proposition the wrong way, but don't you get tired of the same old dungeon? The place isn't really the greatest, it's a dead crowd (see what I did there?), I'm hoping the Cultist event adds something interesting to it, but for now let's get cracking shall we?
The Citadel, A Castle in the Making:
I illustrated a small yet basic diagram of how a Citadel should be generated:
The Keep:
For you non-medieval enthusiasts, the Keep is the highest point in any castle which serves multiple pruposes, usually as a lookout, but it can be used to detain a VIP. The Keep is about the size of an NPC house 1 Golden Bed. In it will be 1 Cursed Chest and it will be where the Mechanic can be found once you open the Citadel, so there is an actual use for the Keep, it's not only asthetic.
The Upper Level:
This part of the Citadel and will consist of hallways or straighter segments. It will have openings in its walls so that it doesn't need to be lit by torches. This will be where a majority of Cursed Chests will be found, but it will also have some enemies in its hallways. It will also become more important when it comes to Hardmode.
The Lower Level:
The Lower Level is more similar to the Dungeon, with traps, water candles, giant rooms and treacherous tunnels. Some more Cursed Chests can be found here, but they are less common than compared to the Upper Level, and it will contain the rest of the exclusive enemies to the Citadel. This level will contain more of
Unlocking the Citadel:
The First enemies of the Citadel:
Cursed Chests and the Epic Loots!
The Post-Plantera Citadel
I'll be editing this topic and including additional items, I just want the topic to get a little more active and let people know that there should be a Dungeon alt, that adds a little more texture to worldgen. Most sprites are custom made by yours truly, however some are retextures or basic modifications of pre existing sprites. If you want to add your own sprites please message me or post them here, I'll be sure to give you credit, and if you suggest the stats and weapons, I'll also add them and credit you to the suggestion.
Sorry I didn't get to finish this there was only so much I could recover from my last attempted edit. I'll be doing a few more interesting things you may or may not really like. I want to see how well people respond to the topic before I continue to edit it.

Unlocking the Citadel:
Don't even worry, our little old friend the Clothier is still going to be cursed, however he's found a new master, infact he's found the Taskmaster:
Taskmaster:
HP: 3900
Defense: 15
Attack: 25 (40 after losing weapon)
Taskmaster himself is the main target, but not the main threat, however when he loses his weapon he unleashes a nearly unavoidable thwomp attack (he will hover directly above you and then violently slam into you, he will be vulnerable for 3 seconds after the thwomp as an opportunity to deal some hefty damage.)
Drops:
5
Lesser Healing Potions (5-15)
Taskmaster Helmet (Vanity)(14%)
Taskmaster Staff (10%)
Taskmaster Trophy (10%)
Taskmaster Prod:
HP: 1000
Defense: 10
Attack: 30
The arms of Taskmaster weild a threatening weapon, The weapon will float by taskmaster in a swaying semicircle, then it will charge and attack from the side, then from above and to the side again. It will then float back and continue to sway in its menacing semicircle until the next strike.
If you don't defeat this menacing boss, the Citadel Guardian will thwomp anyone who tresspasses in his dominion.

Triune Beam:
HP: ∞
Attack: 20, 60 (Beam)
The first trap in the Citadel, it travels similarly to the flaming wheel, but it instead floats in the middle of the air, trying to maintain its path. The beams shooting from its protruding ends are constantly firing, which means you can't walk through them without getting hurt. They will move either clockwise or counter clockwise very slowly, making it easy to dodge them.
Marabounta:
HP: ∞
Attack: 3 HP/s (If in area infected with Marabounta)
This Trap can spawn on any surface (Floor, Walls and Ceiling) and it only gets more annoying. Every second, this contraption spreads gray blobs along the surface, eventually once it touches a player, the gray blobs will begin to swallow the player whole. While in contact with the Marabounta's Grey Blobs (which will be called Marabounta) you lose 3 HP each second. Can be as annoying if not more annoying than spikes. (It can only spawn Marabounta until it has reached its area limit of 30 blocks)
Like the Spike Ball, it can be destroyed by mining the block its placed on.
Proxy Shot:
HP: ∞
Attack: 35
This trap can only spawn on a floor type surface. When the player gets close to the base (about 10 blocks) It will shoot a little probe which will shoot in three beams in the general direction of the player. The probe will eventually fly back into the base. It has a 2 second cooldown befoe the base can shoot another probe.
Can also be destroyed by mining the block its placed on.

Cursed Chests and the Epic Loots!
Cursed Chests:
They are indeed unlocked. But are they? Cursed Chests:
One of the following:
- A Trident/Enchanted Boomerang(with a negative modifier)
- A Flintlock (also with a negative modifier)
- A Copper/Tin Gem Staff (you guessed it, with a negative modifier)
- A Shackle (Not modified.)
- An Invisibility Potion.
Then any 3 of these:
- 1-2 Copper/Tin Bar
- 2-5 Shuriken/Throwing Knives
- 2-5 Torches/Bottles
- 1-8 Copper Coins
So yeah, these cursed chests are absolutely terrible. And that's what any player would think, you could go out on a limb and just take the loot, but if you do you won't get any of the improved loot.
How to remove the Curse:
The curse is removed by inserting a Countercurse into the chest, then exiting the chest. The chest will turn into a puff of silver smoke, and where the chest had gone away a shiny Gold chest will be there with a vast improvement of loot.
Trident becomes:
Waning Glaive:
25 Melee Damage
Fast Speed
Weak Knockback
(Has blue particles similar to Blue Moon)
Enchanted Boomerang becomes:
Akuma Fuma
27 Melee Damage
Very Fast Speed
Weak Knockback
(Fires purple particles like Dark Lance)
Flintlock becomes:
Fuzzblaster
6 Ranged Damage
Insanely Fast Speed (Uzi)
Extremely Weak Knockback
"Ratatatatatatat!"
Copper/Tin Gem Staff becomes:
Multiplier Rod
20 Magic Damage
Average Speed
Strong Knockback
"Shoots an arrow which divides into homing arrows."
Shackle becomes:
Palladium Shield
3 Defense
Halves damage taken from ranged attacks when standing still.
Invisibility Potion becomes:
Witches' Brew
Drinking bottled water gives you a random buff for 45 seconds. (Using this effect grants potion sickness, and means you cannot use this effect again.)

I'll be editing this topic and including additional items, I just want the topic to get a little more active and let people know that there should be a Dungeon alt, that adds a little more texture to worldgen. Most sprites are custom made by yours truly, however some are retextures or basic modifications of pre existing sprites. If you want to add your own sprites please message me or post them here, I'll be sure to give you credit, and if you suggest the stats and weapons, I'll also add them and credit you to the suggestion.
Sorry I didn't get to finish this there was only so much I could recover from my last attempted edit. I'll be doing a few more interesting things you may or may not really like. I want to see how well people respond to the topic before I continue to edit it.
