Trophies



Trophies are semi-rare drops (roughly 10%) from most bosses, and are essentially the boss version of banners. They always show something relevant to the specific boss. Unlike banners, trophies are cosmetic, which can be used as just a decoration (For example, if one wants bragging rights to a powerful boss or just to new players). Some trophies are also only awarded by the Angler NPC. They are purely decorative background objects that can be placed on background walls. In total, there are 30 / 28  / 24  trophies.

Events
Trophies dropped by enemies during Moon Invasions increase at later waves.

Fishing
Fishing trophies are awarded randomly by the Angler NPC for completing quests.

Trivia

 * , and the  do not drop trophies, despite considered as bosses. This is caused by the game not qualifying them as a boss.
 * It is obvious that the trophies from the bosses are a reference to hunting, where hunters put their prey's parts (Usually heads) on a wooden rack to have bragging rights.
 * However, players receive the trophy as a whole, but the hunters in real life need to make a rack before they put something on. This differentiated aspect may also be for balancing reasons, as they if the bosses do drop a single part, they won't be able to have generic names, and harder to categorize as a result, therefore it can increase the potential work for developers.
