Terragrim

The Terragrim is a short range, rapidly striking melee weapon, similar to the Arkhalis. It can rarely be found in Enchanted Sword Shrines Underground.

The Terragrim autoswings, though it does not present an actual blade when used. Instead of an overhead broadsword swing or a shortsword stab, the Terragrim appears as a series of blurred slashes aimed in the direction of the cursor. Anything within this area takes constant damage at a rate far exceeding the weapon's stated use time. This damaging area has a rather wide spread, even attacking behind the player for a very short distance.

The Terragrim's unique means of attack is unaffected by any size and speed modifiers.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase its average damage output by the same amount.



Trivia

 * The Terragrim's name is a reference to the Valmanway from the Castlevania series. Specifically, it references Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, where the Valmanway was instead known as the Crissaegrim. Like the Arkhalis, the Terragrim's function and appearance are also based off of the Valmanway.
 * The Terragrim appears in the Zenith’s animation despite it not being used to craft the Zenith.
 * The Terragrim replaced the Arkhalis as a special weapon found in Enchanted Sword Shrines, as the Arkhalis is now found in Arkhalis's developer set.
 * The Terragrim, Terrarium, and Terraspark Boots are the only Pre-Hardmode items with 'Terra' in their names.
