Hoplite

The Hoplite is a pre-hardmode enemy that spawns in the Marble mini-biome. It fires piercing javelins at the player, which can deal a lot of damage. In early game, Hoplites can be extremely dangerous, especially in Expert Mode with its projectiles dealing twice their base damage.

Trivia

 * Hoplites were ancient Greek soldiers who typically carried spears and shields. This might be the reason why hoplites are referred to in the game files as Greek Skeleton.
