Skullcrusher is a Hardmode boss that can be summoned in the Dungeon once Plantera has been defeated. They are completely optional, and do not need to be defeated to progress through the game.

Summoning

Skullcrusher does not spawn on its own and requires the player to use a Skeletal Tablet in the Dungeon to spawn it.

Attacks

Skullcrusher will try to remain at the exact location of the player, meaning that you have to move to avoid it. Skullcrusher will also disable any mob spawns, so that players won't get overcrowded with enemies.

Skullcrusher has a set attack pattern, and it goes as follows:

* Skullcrusher spins their arms at the player, one after the other, for around 10 to 15 times.
* It will then either dash horizontally, or try and hit the player with its jaw. This will result tin the player being stuck for 5 seconds
* It will then roar and summon 5 Flaming Skulls to attack the player. These skulls will remain persistent until killed.
* It will then latch its hands onto the surface the player is standing on, and smash its head into the floor, knocking back any nearby player.
*It will finally roar, and shoot a barrage of “teeth” projectiles at the player.
When Skullcrusher reaches 10% health, it will spawn two Phantom Skulls, which will remain in the fight until either the player or Skullcrusher dies.

Catastrophe Mode-Only Content: This information only applies to Catastrophe Mode and Catastrophe Mode worlds.

In Catastrophe Mode, Skullcrusher gets a second phase when falling below 30% health. In this phase, he will consistently spawn Flaming Skulls every few seconds and will charge a lot quicker. Their attacks also inflict the Dungeon's Curse debuff, slowing down and damaging the player

Drops

SkullCrusher will drop the following items: (W.I.P)

Ectoplasm 100% (20-40)
Bones 100% (50-70)

There are currently no more items, I have to sprite them first.

Notes

*As Skullcrusher is fought in the Dungeon, it is recommenced to have a large arena a set up inside.
*Do be cautious, though, as bringing it to the surface will make it invulnerable, and it will switch its AI to that of a Dungeon Guardian.

Trivia

*Skullcrusher was the first boss introduced to the Chaos Mod.
*At some point, Skullcrusher's flaming eye was going to be blue, but was changed by the spriter due to a potential income of sans references.
*Skullcrusher was originally known as “Skull Wrecker”
*It also resembled Papyrus from Undertale. It is unknown if it is based off him, however.
