Mothron

Not to be confused with the Moth.

Mothron is a rare enemy from the Solar Eclipse event. It can only spawn after all Mechanical Bosses are defeated. Mothron will attack by lunging at the player, passing through tiles. Occasionally it will stop flying and lay several Mothron Eggs that will spawn Baby Mothrons if they are not destroyed in time.

Trivia

 * Mothron is a reference to Mothra from the namesake 1961 movie. The subtle change in its name follows the trend of Terraria enemies' and bosses' names ending with the suffix -ron, such as Skeletron, Duke Fishron, and Pigron.
