Voodoo Demon

Voodoo Demon is a rare enemy found in The Underworld. It is identical to the Demon in behavior, but differs slightly in appearance: a small Guide Voodoo Doll hangs upside-down from one of its talons, and it lacks the blue bracelets and anklets that are worn by Demons.

Voodoo Demons will always drop a Guide Voodoo Doll. Note that due to the terrain of the Underworld, defeating a Voodoo Demon may result in an unwanted summoning of the Wall of Flesh if the Doll falls into one of the many lava pools.

Despite being a fairly rare enemy, the Voodoo Demon was not detected by the prior to 1.4.4.

Tips

 * It may be worth investing time into building a 1-block thick bridge over a large portion of the Underworld. This will both ensure that no Guide Voodoo Dolls accidentally fall in lava and make the fights with the Wall of Flesh more manageable.
 * In order to effectively farm Guide Voodoo Dolls, it may be worth utilizing the 1 block thick bridge as an arena for battling multiple Demons at once, due to the low spawn rate of Voodoo Demons.
 * However, it is worth noting that farming for a Guide Voodoo Doll is not as useful in the, as throwing the Guide himself in lava can also summon the Wall of Flesh.
 * Farming Voodoo Demons in Hardmode and after a mechanical boss is defeated is not advisable as their spawn can be overridden by Red Devils and Tortured Souls, significantly reducing their average spawn rate – not to mention the high spawn rates of Hellbats and Lava Slimes.
 * Farming can be made much easier by using the Secret world seed, which replaces all demons with Voodoo Demons.

Trivia

 * The sound Voodoo Demons make when damaged by the player was not updated along with regular Demons in.
