Mechanical Worm

The Mechanical Worm is a Hardmode item used to summon The Destroyer, the Hardmode version of the Eater of Worlds. It can only be used during night time. Using another Mechanical Worm while The Destroyer is already summoned will result in the Mechanical Worm not being consumed, and a second Destroyer will not appear. If all players have died but The Destroyer hasn't, it will despawn.

If you have not defeated The Destroyer yet and are in Hardmode, all enemies have a 1 in 2500 (0.04%) chance of dropping this item, with the exception of statue-spawned enemies and Meteor Heads.
