Santa-NK1

Santa-NK1 (also known as Santank) is a mini-boss that spawns during the Frost Moon event. When below half health, the face and beard of the Santa mask will be torn apart to reveal a rather morbid skull underneath.

Attacks
Santa-NK1 repeatedly cycles through three attacks:


 * First attack: Chain gun fires bullets at the player.
 * Second attack: Presents launch high, then rain down via parachute from above, causing damage on contact with players. These travel through blocks.
 * Third attack: Rocket barrage. These also travel through blocks.

While moving, it also drops large spiked balls on the ground that deal high damage (120-150+ with Chlorophyte armor). These increase in frequency as Santa-NK1 takes damage.

Tips

 * Note that his present launch and rocket barrage attacks are highly inaccurate.

Trivia

 * "Santa-NK1" is a play on the phrase "Santank" (ie. Santa Tank), the name used when the enemy was announced.
 * Its arm appears to be the Chain Gun, which it sometimes drops.
 * In the mobile edition of Terraria the Santa NK1's face does not come off, it comes off at death.
