Santa-NK1

Santa-NK1 (also known as Santank) is a 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.

Trivia
"He knows when you are sleeping, He knows when you're on the can, He'll hunt you down and blast your ass from here to Pakistan. Oh, You'd better not breathe, you'd better not move, You're better off dead, I'm telling you, dude. Santa Claus is gunning you down!" -Futurama
 * "Santa-NK1" is actually a play on the word "Santank" (ie. Santa Tank), the name used when the enemy was announced.
 * Its arm appears to be the Chain Gun, which it sometimes drops.
 * The Santa-NK1, while not very visually similar aside from a mechanical nature and tank treads, behaves very similarly to a recurring mini-boss from the freeware Apogee game Bio Menace. The enemy, called the "Robo-Tank", shares similar attacking patterns such as multiple rapid-fire heavy ordnance weapons like missiles and bullets. Most specifically, the Robo-Tank also fires a volley of bombs into the air, which must parachute down onto the battlefield.
 * The Santa-NK1 appearance resembles Robot Santa Claus from the TV show Futurama, of which he shares the same Christmas attitude:
