Pygmy Staff



The Pygmy Staff is a post-Plantera Hardmode summon weapon. It spawns a pygmy character that follows the player and attacks enemies via a ranged spear attack. Like other minions, the summoned pygmy is invincible and follows the player for an unlimited amount of time, unless the player dies, summons a replacement minion, or cancels the buff. The Pygmy Staff is dropped by Plantera with a 25% (1/4) /  chance.

Trivia

 * Each time the Pygmy is summoned, it randomly has one of four possible sprite graphics. However, they are all functionally identical.
 * The pygmy catches up to fast-moving players by flying while standing, sitting, or hanging on its spear.
 * Each of the Pygmy’s colors (purple, blue, red, yellow/orange) seem to represent the colors of the 4 : Donnatello (purple), Leonardo (blue), Michelangelo (orange), and Raphael (red).
 * It is one of only four weapons in the game that can inflict Venom without any buffs or bonuses, the others being the Spider Staff, the Venom Staff, and the Queen Spider Staff.
