Cages

Cages are placeable decorative furniture items that display Critters. A Critter caught with the Bug Net is combined with the Terrarium to craft a Cage. Cages resemble aquariums with animated Critters inside.

Cages exist as background furniture, and nothing can be placed on them, nor can they be placed on top of each other. All Cages measure either 6 tiles wide by 3 high or 3 tiles wide by 2 high, and are partially transparent.

Cages cannot be opened, broken, or un-crafted, so once a Critter is crafted into a Cage, that particular Critter can no longer be released.

Trivia

 * The animation of the worm in the Worm Cage mimics the Snake game, although it does not increase in length.


 * The Penguin's sprite in the Penguin Cage resembles the Baby penguin.


 * The game's name Terraria is the plural form of the word terrarium.
