Demon

Demon is a new mob found in the underworld. They were added in 1.0.5. They shoot purple blades at the player, similar to the Demon Scythe. The blades can be destroyed if they are hit by a weapon, like the fireballs of the Fire Imp. A variation of them is the Voodoo Demon. They are currently subjected to severe amounts of farming due to the Demon Scythe. They currently have a very low spawn rat in comparison to more common mobs such as the Hellbat. Due to this especially on competitive multiplayer servers they are farmed and provide severe challenge for lower tier players. Their ability to cause high damage in both melee and with the demon scythe (up to 140 damage if all impact) along with flying and high amounts of lava that destroy dropped items make getting the scythe along with combat extremely difficult

Trivia

 * The Demon's Demon Scythe attack is the only Magic attack produced by an NPC that does not pass through walls; however, the projectile is so big it can, in fact, hit players through one-block thick walls (This is likely a bug).
