Withered Carrier

The Withered Carrier is a Pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns in the Underworld or the Dungeon after Skeletron has been defeated. It behaves similarly to the fighter AI, though it will jump when approaching, and will attempt to touch the Player. Upon contact it will give the Wither debuff.

Trivia

 * The Withered Carrier is a reference to Wither Skeletons, and the debuff they inflict has the same name and effect as their Minecraft incarnation inflict as well.
