Santa-NK1

Santa-NK1 is a Hardmode, 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.

Attack Phases
Santa-NK1 repeatedly cycles through three attack phases: 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.
 * First phase: Chain gun fires bullets at the player.
 * Second phase: Presents launch high, then rain down via parachute from above, causing damage on contact with players. These travel through blocks.
 * Third phase: Rocket barrage. These also travel through blocks.

Tips

 * Note that his Present launch and rocket barrage attacks are highly inaccurate.
 * If you use wings you can fly over him back and forth and make it harder for him to hit you with the chain gun and the rocket barrage.
 * If you have obtained the Razorpine and Golden Shower then you can hit him with the Golden Shower to lower his defense then fire your Razorpine at him. This is highly effective with Spectre armor as it fully heals you no matter how low you are. This seems to be even more effective on the and  because the Spectre Hood still has its old stats, which increases magic damage, instead of lowering it.

Trivia

 * "Santa-NK1" is a play on the portmanteau of Santa and Tank, "Santank," the name used when the enemy was first announced.
 * The image in the game files used for when the face is ripped off uses the name "SantaTank.png."
 * Its arm appears to be a large Chain Gun, an item which it sometimes drops.
 * On the, Santa-NK1's face does not get torn off when its health is low, but instead will tear off upon death.
