NPCs & Enemies The Frost Legion needs an upgrade.

Mob ideas:

Balla Bombers: These snow guys ride mini airplanes, and drop the unused Snow enemies (ones with dynamite on their head) that explode on contact.

Balla Getaway Driver: These guys drive cars, and spawn various Balla Snowmen, both vanilla ones and the ones I suggested. They also tend to drive into you as an attack, and can also shoot you like a drive by. Cars explode on death.

Balla Rat: A snowman with a wire on him. After doing a crying animation, he can spawn Cold Cops to his location. It is advised to kill Balla Rats before they spawn Cold Cops, as Cold Cops are stronger than most enemies here, except the last two. Balla Rats are cowards and tend to run away from you.

Cold Cops: Armed with either pistols or night sticks, they are called into the scene by Balla Rats ratting out his people. However, much to your annoyance, Cold Cops are corrupt cops, so they help the other guys destroy you. They can pack a punch.

Chilly Dogs: Dogs made of snow. They run and jump fast. They attack with a bite. Tend to be on the leash of Chilly Dog Catchers, and let go. Bites leave you Frozen or Chilled. Chilly Dogs resemble bull terriers.

Chilly Dog Catchers: Chilly Dog catchers tend to hold Snow Dogs that they let go momentarily. Without their dogs, Chilly Dog Catchers are easy to kill. They attack with their catching tool at a sword like range without their dogs.

SEMI-MINIBOSS: Frost Fatale

A woman made from snow. She has a 1930s hairstyle, and looks like a flapper with her clothes. The Frost Fatale has the ability to do cool acrobatics, like to jump over enemies, and dodges a lot of the players attacks.

As her main attack, beyond her dodging abilities, the Frost Fatale spins rapidly, leaving you Confused. She is harder to kill than the other enemies listed, and seems to be smarter, given how she dodges attacks. She commonly wears a mean expression, and seems to enjoy running from and towards you at an almost unpredictable rate. Killing the Frost Fatale causes the miniboss to appear. It was his girlfriend you just whacked..jerk.

She is a snow woman form of the flapper I posted below.

MINIBOSS: Al Snowcone

A parody of the famous mobster Scarface/Al Capone, and the leader of the Frost Legion. He is a larger snowman that wears a full suit, and has some form of icy scar on his face. Al Snowcone even smokes a cigar too.

He notices what you did..killing the Frost Fatale. Whilst showing an angry expression, Al Snowcone says (in text) "You just whack my girl?! Say hello to my little friend!", and attacks you on the spot. Al Snowcone is a slow hulking enemy, but his attacks hit hard to an unprepared player.

Al Snowcone wields a Tommy machine-gun and shoots many bullets, and can actually aim them at you compared to the other gunman snowman just shooting straight. Uniquely, he seems to jam his weapon at times, and cannot fight for a short bit, smacking the weapon in anger until it works again. This allows a free hit to be scored from you.

Al Snowcone will often spawn his brethren in front of himself, especially Balla Getaway Drivers, via a whistle gesture as he takes out his cigar momentarily to do do.

Al Snowcone can also use snow as a walled defense to protect himself. He commonly laughs at you, and seems to smile as he attacks you at times.

He can also uniquely spawn his fellow Snow Dons, who are snowmen in suits that throw poker cards or chips at you that deal random effects.

Al Snowcone Drops:

Tommy Come Lately: His machine gun. A standard weapon, really. Fires bullets fast, but it's not exactly as good as the Megashark.

Snow Rod: Generate a snow block gate around you as a shield via mana. Magic weapon.

Booty Cold: Summon any one of the Balla goons. Summon weapon. Joke pun on the term booty call. XD

Hmm... the names could use some work, but overall this is a solid suggestion. I like leaning into the gangster theme. The one major thing I want to say is that the Frost Fatale should not have a grab attack. Grab attacks in Terraria are just about nonexistent, because players hate having their movement restricted in a game that's so focused on movement.
 
Honestly I think grab attacks could work in some places, I mean the Wall of Flesh can do it, but in a frenetic enemy-rush event that would go pretty terribly.
 
The boss is maybe a little overkill but I think the miniboss + more enemies and maybe some new drops could be cool. Would be really nice to see the frost legion get a bit more love

I could nerf him.
 
I could nerf him.
maybe he could be the miniboss and the frost fatale could just be a strong enemy like the headless horseman. Not every event necessarily needs a whole new boss (goblin army for example only gets a miniboss). Adding bosses is complicated, and a lot of thought and time would need to go into their ai and drops. You'd need something for every class as a drop etc.

It'd be cool for a mod, (e.g gameterraria mod) but I'm not sure how it'd fit into terraria as a whole. otherwise the new enemies and drops are cool :cool:

Simple changes:

Frost Fatale:
-does cool acrobatics (jumps over enemies, and dodges a lot)
-no grab attack
-still spins and Confuses
-just a stronger enemy, not a miniboss

Al Snowcone:
-just uses his gun attack and blocks attacks with snow at times
-can whistle to attract enemies to himself (but doesn't spawn many)
-just a miniboss

Also forgot to add, maybe Al Snowcone sometimes has to reload, or his gun jams, causing him to get angry and swat at the thing. This allows you to get a free hit in.
 
Mob ideas (temporary names)

Snow Bomber: These snow guys ride mini airplanes, and drop the unused Snow enemies (ones with dynamite on their head) that explode on contact.

Snow Getaway Driver: These guys drive cars, and spawn various Snowmen. They also tend to drive into you as an attack, and can also shoot you like a drive by. Cars explode on death.

Snow Wired Guy: A snowman with a wire on him. After doing a crying animation, he can spawn Snow cops. Kill them before they spawn them

Snow Cops: Armed with either pistols or night sticks, they are called into the scene by Snow Wired Guys. They are corrupt cops, so they help the other guys.

Snow Dogs: Dogs made of snow. They run and jump fast. They attack with a bite. Tend to be on the leash of Snow Dog Catchers, and let go.

Snow Dog Catchers: Hold Snow Dogs that they let go. Without their dogs, they are easy to kill.

MINIBOSS: Frost Fatale

A woman made from snow. She has a 1930s hairstyle, and looks like a flapper with her clothes. The Frost Fatale spins rapidly, leaving you confused. She also uppercuts, and grabs you, holding you in place while giving you a kick. She is harder to kill than the other enemies listed, and seems to be smarter. Killing the Frost Fatale causes the boss to appear. It was his girlfriend you just whacked..jerk.

BOSS: Al Snowcone

A parody of the famous mobster Scarface/Al Capone, and the leader of the Frost Legion. He is a larger snowman that wears a full suit, and has some form of icy scar on his face. Al Snowcone even smokes a cigar too.

UPDATED IT with better names and stuff
 
Hmm... the names could use some work, but overall this is a solid suggestion. I like leaning into the gangster theme. The one major thing I want to say is that the Frost Fatale should not have a grab attack. Grab attacks in Terraria are just about nonexistent, because players hate having their movement restricted in a game that's so focused on movement.
I changed some of the names and gave the gimmick of dodging some attacks to the Frost Fatale, instead of grabbing. She will tend to be fast and jump quite a bit over enemies. This ties into her being smarter than most of them. Homing attacks are a good idea on her.

I also changed her to be more of just a strong enemy than a miniboss, due to suggestions. The big mobster is now a miniboss and weakened a bit; he spawns less enemies and can occasionally have his gun jam.
