Shadow Orb

Shadow Orbs are floating orbs that can occasionally be found below the bottom of Chasms in areas in The Corruption. The player recives random loot from destroying Shadow Orbs, including but not limited to, Guns, Staves and Magical Orbs. When a Shadow Orb is smashed, the message "A chill runs down your spine..." will be displayed, indicating that a Meteorite will later fall somewhere random in the world (you will be notified of this when it happens). It is also believed that a Goblin Invasion may be triggered when smashing those orbs. Shadow Orbs will also have a chance to summon The Eater or Worlds when broken.

Confirmed loot:


 * Musket


 * Orb of Light


 * Ball 'O Hurt
 * VileThorn
 * Band of Starpower
