Goat Skull

The Goat Skull is a Hardmode mount-summon item dropped by the Wall of Flesh in Master mode with a 1/4 (25%) chance to drop. When used, it summons a rideable Death Goat Mount. This allows the mounted player to perform a double jump much like the Cloud in a Bottle and can be used to prevent fall damage if timed correctly. It is identical to the Unicorn Mount.

Once a high speed is reached, the Goat emits a sparkle effect, and from that point on, it will be able to damage enemies on contact. The invulnerability is granted for 1/10 second when the player and the Goat dash through an enemy, much like the brief invulnerability after taking damage. Dashing through enemies while riding this mount will deal 80 base damage to them, excluding defense. This damage benefits from effects that boost summon damage.

Trivia

 * Using any auto-firing weapon such as the Terra Blade, yoyos, or a Minishark, and firing it in the opposite direction the player is walking in will cause the Goat to walk "backwards".


 * On flat ground, the Goat travels at the same speed as an unmodified Terra Blade beam.


 * The Goat is identical to the Unicorn Mount.
 * This item is a reference to The Icon of Sin, final boss of Doom II (2002). The boss takes the form of a large bio-mechanical goat head on a wall, similar to the Wall of Flesh itself.
