Beholder is a Pre-Hardmode mini-boss that spawns in the Marble Cave mini-biome. Like many mini-bosses, it can fly through walls.
It can be detected with a Lifeform Analyzer.
Spawn[ | ]
Beholders will spawn naturally in or around a Marble Cave, after the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu has been defeated. Only one can spawn at a time.
The quest "Ancient Gazes" requires the player to defeat one Beholder. While the quest is active, Beholders are considerably more common.
Behavior[ | ]
It will constantly fly around the player and dash forward. Upon contact, it will siphon the player's mana, draining up to 60 points, and may inflict them with the Bleeding debuff. It will also occasionally randomly teleport, becoming stationary and shooting five ricocheting fireballs at the player, which inflict the On Fire! debuff.
