Cursed Skull

The Cursed Skull (and the Dragon Skull on ) is a flying enemy found only in the Dungeon. It is similar to the Meteor Head, with high damage, slow speed, and the ability to travel through tiles. It floats slowly towards the player, occasionally stopping to float in a circle around them for a while, before suddenly lunging forward to attack, similar to the Eye of Cthulhu. When striking a player, the Cursed Skull has a small chance to apply the Cursed debuff. This renders the player unable to use items, including Weapons, Potions, and Grappling Hooks, making it very difficult to avoid further damage.

Cursed Skulls are immune to the Poisoned, On Fire!, Venom, Shadowflame, Confused, and Cursed Inferno debuffs. They are much more likely to appear in Dungeon areas where there are Brick Walls.

Tips

 * Cursed Skulls can be attacked through walls with melee weapons. Weapons with long range like Spears work well. This may, however, result in drops being trapped inside of the wall beyond the player's reach.
 * Cursed Skulls and Dragon Skulls can, rather rarely, drop more than 3/ Bones when defeated.
 * Cursed Skulls are effective enemies to farm for the Nazar, since they spawn more often than the few other enemies that also drop it. Pre-Hardmode is a good time to do this, since it allows for an easier time farming for the other ingredients used in the Ankh Shield.

Trivia

 * Dragon Skulls are colored according to the color of bricks of the Dungeon. If the Dungeon has pink bricks, Dragon Skulls will be orange. Green brick will result in green Dragon Skulls spawning, and blue Dragon Skulls spawn only in Dungeons made of blue bricks.
 * Dragon skulls resemble the mistake of people seeing skulls of animals and mistakening them for dragon skulls. Since the key of a real dragon body includes horns, dragon skulls do not have horns.
