Within minutes after Yharim took his leave he activated the runes, causing the entire ice temple to be enveloped in pure darkness. However, the archmage had not realized that Yharim had a contingency plan in place Yharim had expertly placed magical runes hidden in a pocket dimension right outside the ice temple. When the archmage refused Yharim kindly took his leave, bowing to the archmage and returning to his home. But the archmage saw through his ruse and viewed only bitter contempt within Yharim's heart and the fiery urge to annihilate the underworld obsidian towers and their inhabitants. Yharim asked to learn from him in order to "peacefully" calm the denizens of the underworld. When Yharim was young he ventured from the jungle temple to the ancient ice temple where the archmage Permafrost resided. Through this process the slime god has formed the Crimulan and Ebonian Slime Gods to defend itself from any possible threats.Ĭryogen Lore: Yharim's prison for the magic of the ice castle, Cryogen, is a representation of Yharim's bitter cold hatred for the archmage of ice. Through telekinetic energy the slime god shapes it's slimes from water and various dead plant and animal matter, it then wills them to consume more dead matter to continue growing the slime population. It became large enough to begin influencing other beings around it through telekinesis. Eventually, after gaining enough cellular mass it began absorbing larger flora and fauna, gaining intelligence from each creature it enveloped. The slime god was born after a bacteria evolved and began consuming other bacteria around it. Slimes are some of the first creatures to evolve from the very first living cells present from ancient times, and even though they do not posses sentience themselves their 'core' is what gives them shape and allows them to move about the world. The Slime God Lore + Origin: The Slime God, one of the very first creatures to ever come to exist in the Terrarian's world, is the core and control unit of all things slimy. Corruptions are just breeding grounds to creatures which form larger and larger clusters. The Hive Mind Lore: The Hive Mind, the grotesque creature that lies in the depths of the corruption, is actually a colony of creatures that travel together, combining their abilities to form a greater presence responsible for spreading and sustaining the corruption. Unluckily for you, their new host is you. If they lose their host, they burrow as a group to the depths of the crimson and wait for a new host to come across them. The Perforators Lore: Once a single Eater of Worlds, the Perforators are separate entities that have lost the need for their eyes after evolving to live as a parasite inside the creature called the Brain of Cthulhu. Now the sea worm has dried out and become a hollow shell of its former self, constantly seeking fresh meat for it to devour. Deprived of its previous food source, Crab and Shark meat, it devoured all of the inhabitants of the now dried up sea kingdom. This event caused the great sea worm, now known as the Desert Scourge, to go on a rampage. Spawn rates are reduced to 0% if any Celestial Pillars are alive.Desert Scourge Lore: When the Sea King, Amidias refused to partake in the forbidden ritual to awaken the Moon Lord/The Dark Lord from his slumber and imprisonment on the moon the Jungle Tyrant King, Yharim had the witch Calamitas evaporate all of the seas water with fire and brimstone.Additionally, spawn rates are reduced by 90% in Hardmode.Hive Cysts spawn three times as often after defeating the Eater of Worlds or Brain of Cthulhu if The Hive Mind has not been defeated yet.This is to prevent players who use summon weapons from accidentally spawning the Hive Mind. Despite being classified as an enemy, minions will not attack the cyst, exactly like with the Perforator Cyst.The Hive Mind will spawn directly where the Hive Cyst was after killing it, which means that unprepared players might be taken by surprise.The Hive Cyst can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer and its upgrades. It is the Corruption counterpart to the Perforator Cyst. The Hive Cyst has abnormally high life for Pre-Hardmode, ensuring that early players won't accidentally summon the boss. When killed, it will summon The Hive Mind. The Hive Cyst is a rare Pre-Hardmode stationary enemy that spawns in The Corruption biome.
