I see you're liking my sprites! This is a cool suggestion, and the drops are pretty neat too!

Hopefully, someone comes along and codes this into a mod! I'd like to check it out!

Want me to cook you up a new sprite for the Ink Sprayer? My request list is only 1 person at the moment!

If your list is that short, may I make a request?
Can I have a smashed cake (like an actual smashed cake) in terraria form (so pixely basically) if that’s ok for you? I hope I’m not bothering you but it’s for a suggestion I’m working on.
 
How to be a great Atlantian:
1) Go fishing at the sea with a Truffle Worm as your bait (Summon Duke Fishron)
2) Release the beast deep under the sea with a Cursed Ink Sac (Release The Kraken)
3) Go for a swim in the depths of the sea (Get Merfolk effect)

Might be a great achievement or something. What if the Kraken dropped some Black Ink or something? Or the Whirlpool staff has the whirlpool as the staff handle and a blue orb at the tip?
 
@Huzbubber Tim My take on the Ink Sprayer.

This thread just went under a HUGE overhaul, so many things will be different and/or improved!

I have always thought that gap between the pre-hardmode bosses and the Wall of Flesh is all too big. All of the pre-hardmode bosses are much weaker than WoF, and there are not really any bosses that bridge that gap. So I propose a new boss: The Kraken!

View attachment 206410 AMAZING new sprite by @Ai - T.a.S.A.I. !

The Kraken is summoned in the ocean using a Cursed Ink Sac (View attachment 206398 ) in the ocean. Cursed Ink Sacs are crafted with 1 black ink, 20 shells, 10 starfish, and 15 bones at a demon alter. (Shells/starfish would now generate on beaches over time) Tooltip: "Releases the Kraken!" When it is used, the message “The Kraken has been released!” will appear. (Thanks @Explinorater for the idea!

-Stats:
Health: 5,200/10,400
Defense: 12/24
Knockback Resistance: 100%

-Behaviour:
While the battle is active, the player is given the Kraken's Curse debuff (View attachment 206666), which gives the player extended underwater breath (about 30 seconds) and improved swimming, but it disables any other water buff potions (gills, flipper, etc.) and makes the player take damage over time while above water (about 4 health per second.) The Kraken stays underwater for the majority of the fight. If the player attempts to leave the ocean, the Kraken will drag them back to the fight with a long tentacle, which deals 20/40 damage.

-Attacks:
Generic Attacks: Quickly dashes at the player and attempts to ram into them (40/80 damage), summons 1 Krakite every 10 seconds, jumps out of and back into the ocean, making big splashes of these projectiles View attachment 206408 (30/60 damage, yet another amazing sprite by @Ai - T.a.S.A.I. !)

Below 90% life: Generic Attacks, shoots Inkballs View attachment 206395 (AGAIN a wonderful sprite by @Ai - T.a.S.A.I. !) that explode into smaller ink particles (25/50 damage).

Below 50% life: Generic Attacks, 3 Krakites now spawn every 6 seconds, occasionally shoots jets of ink (70/140 damage), dashes more often, periodically fires a large whirlpool at the player View attachment 206528 (50/100 damage)

Below 20% life: Generic Attacks, summons 4 Krakites every 6 seconds, periodically surrounds itself in a cloud of Toxic Ink View attachment 206529 (55/110 damage) that inflicts the Poisoned debuff for 7 seconds, dashes more often.

View attachment 206405 Krakites: Krakites are boss servants that fly around the player and attempt to ram into them, dealing 40/80 damage. They have 200/400 health and 10 defense. (Once again a beautiful sprite by @Ai - T.a.S.A.I. !)

EXPERT MODE: Always summons 4 Krakites every 6 seconds, dashes are faster and more common, Ink attacks have a 30% chance to inflict the Darkness debuff upon the player for 3-7 seconds.

Drops:
View attachment 207712 Ink Sprayer: Does 20 ranged damage. Shoots a cloud of ink that lingers for 3 seconds. 20% drop chance. (Once more a beautiful sprite by @Ai - T.a.S.A.I. !)
View attachment 206399 Ink Canister: Ammo for Ink Sprayer. Drops 15-30 with Ink Sprayer. Also sold by arms dealer when Ink Sprayer is in inventory.
View attachment 206407 Tentacle Whip: Does 26 melee damage. It quickly extends and retracts, similar to the Flairon and Chain Guillotines. Has a range of 30 tiles. 20% drop chance.
View attachment 206409 Whirlpool Scepter: Does 30 magic damage. Shoots a large whirlpool projectile at your enemies. Uses 30 mana per shot. 20% drop chance.
View attachment 206403 Krakite Staff: 16 summon damage. Summons a Krakite minion (View attachment 206405) to fight for you. Uses 20 mana. 20% drop chance.
View attachment 206400 Enchanted Hook: Does 20 melee damage, when thrown, it moves in a wide arc and comes back to the player like a boomerang. 20% drop chance. (And yet again a fantastic sprite by @Ai - T.a.S.A.I.
View attachment 206406 Suckered Hook: Shoots a single hook with a range of 24 tiles. This hook is unique because when it is fired at smaller enemies (zombies, werewolves, etc.), it will pull them to you. 12.24% drop chance.
View attachment 206402 View attachment 206401 Kraken Trophy: 10% drop chance.
View attachment 206531 Kraken Mask: 14.29% drop chance
Expert Mode:
View attachment 206404 Kraken Treasure Bag: 100% drop chance.
View attachment 206397 Ink Globule: Double tapping Down encloses you in a cloud of toxic ink, dealing 20 damage to enemies in it and causing enemies outside the cloud to ignore you. The cloud lasts for 10 seconds. If you move outside of the cloud, enemies can see you and will attack you. 100% drop chance from Kraken Treasure Bag.

Thank you for reading my suggestion! Let me know what you think in the comments!
Support the Kraken!

I love this idea very very much but I don't like how the Ink Globule stays on you for 10 seconds, by time those seconds are over, there aren't anymore zombies or mobs around you and is it a magic weapon? if so, it might need to use a lot of mana.

Thanks for the feedback! The Globule is an accessory (which I will add now), and I decided that 10 seconds sounds good because if you're doing an event, you could get overwhelmed by enemies, so going into the could would provide some safe time inside. Also, you could just move out of the cloud if you wanted to.
