Pygmy Staff



The Pygmy Staff is a magic weapon weapon that summons a pygmy minion to fight by your side using a ranged spear attack. The staff is dropped by Plantera (25% or 1/4 chance).

The best possible modifier for this weapon is Ruthless. The Mythical modifier presents a wider array of stat bonuses, but these mostly affect the initial summon, not the resulting Pygmy. Additionally, minions cannot critically hit.

Trivia

 * Each time the Pygmy is summoned, it has a random one of four possible sprite graphics. They are all functionally identical.
 * If the player travels fast enough (faster than the Pygmy can run) or the player uses their wings, the Pygmy will start flying after the player while standing, sitting, or hanging on its spear.
