Talk:Spike Ball

Questions
I have a variety of rather odd questions:
 * Has anyone actually reduced one of these (or a Blazing Wheel) to 0 health by recoiling damage with Thorns?
 * Are we certain they would actually die at 0 health? (I have no real reason to suspect they wouldn't, but I suppose anything is possible.)
 * Upon dying (if applicable), do they drop anything? (I would suspect no, since they are clearly not intended to die at all, but stranger things have happened. Worst case scenario: something goes horribly wrong and Terraria crashes, but now I'm just rumormongering.)

I may test this myself later on, for curiosity's sake. -- Rhombus (T ♦ C) 21:27, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I just tested it. They do die when they're reduced to 0 health, and the default "splatter" death sound plays. There's no associated gibs, no drops and no monetary value, so they simply disappear and drop nothing. --Lunboks 21:56, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Spawn rate?
I don't recall ever encountering one of these in 1.2. Anyone else ever see one???
 * I explored every corner in a medium world's dungeon and didn't encounter any. Same goes for blazing wheels, come to think of it.
 * They are around. Their spawn rate has definitely been reduced. Either that or they only spawn with a certain type of background as well.--71.55.136.208 22:01, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Bees
Will bees summoned by player attack Spike balls?Teapare (talk) 09:38, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I don’t think they do. I had a document at home on homing weapons, hopefully I can check this by the end of the day. 4e696e6a6f795844 (talk) 11:52, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I took a look and they don't attack Spike Balls. They actually don't attack a lot of things, so I want to flesh out what homing weapons home onto on a page at some point... 4e696e6a6f795844 (talk) 23:44, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
