Arch Demon

Arch Demons are found in The Underworld in the console and mobile version only. In addition to causing physical damage if contacted, they shoot accelerating purple blades at the player, similar to the Demon Scythe spell, in volleys of four. These blades are stopped by barriers such as walls and ash blocks, and have a chance of blinding the player. The blades cannot be destroyed if they are hit by a weapon, unlike the fireballs of the Fire Imp which can be destroyed.

Arch Demons are immune to the On Fire! debuff.

Trivia

 * The Arch Demon's Demon Scythe projectile can hit players through one-block thick walls.
 * They may also drop the Demon Scythe upon defeat on iOS version.
 * Unlike the regular Demon, the Arch Demon seems to casts Demon Scythes more frequently and faster.

{{bug|{{mobile icon}}If your world is in hardmode arch demons will have 400 hp and drop Crystal Shards. This may be because of an improper trigger into hardmode. Also observed when fighting it before the WoF was even defeated.
