Mourning Wood

Mourning Wood is a miniboss encountered during the final waves of the Pumpkin Moon.

During combat, the Mourning Wood fires off a volley or two of about 8-10 flaming spikes, doing more damage in correlation to the wave number. After these spikes hit the ground, they burst and set the spot on fire for a few seconds, and touching the flaming ground causes damage. This can be frustrating while fending off other enemies, but using a flight accessory helps immensely, as the spikes aren't too accurate to the player's location. The Mourning Wood will run to a side of the screen out of existence if not defeated before 4:30AM, just as the Pumpking does.

Trivia

 * The name "Mourning Wood" is clearly a play on the term "Morning Wood."
