Everscream

Everscream is a Hardmode mini-boss that only spawns during the Frost Moon event. Defeating Everscream will add 50 points during the Frost Moon. It is the Frost Moon equivalent of Mourning Wood, which behaves in an almost identical way to Everscream.

Attacks
Everscream alternates between two attacks:
 * Fires a volley of Pine Needle.png pine needles at the player. This is somewhat similar to Mourning Wood's flaming wood attack, but the pine needles are fired more rapidly, deal less damage, are less accurate, do not pass through blocks, and are affected by gravity.
 * Fires a jet of bouncing Everscream Ornament.png ornaments, which are affected by gravity and shatter after 5 seconds in a manner similar to Crystal Bullets, in that their Everscream Ornament Fragment.png shrapnel also deals damage. These are fired in a similar but slower manner to Mourning Wood's greek fire.

Tips

 * Note that most of the Everscream's attacks can easily be avoided by staying on platforms high enough above the ground, as the attacks have limited range. Attacking with any ranged or long-range melee weapon from there trivializes the fight.
 * Everscream is one of the few mini-bosses whose attacks can be shielded, as its ornament and pine needle attacks do not go through blocks.
 * Unlike Mourning Wood, Everscream's attacks do not deal increased damage after its health drops past 25%.

Trivia

 * Everscream's pine needle attack is similar to the Razorpine that it drops.
 * "Everscream" is a portmanteau of "evergreen" and "scream".
 * Everscream can be considered the Frost Moon counterpart of Mourning Wood, a mini-boss spawning during the Pumpkin Moon event, as they share the same AI.
 * Everscream and the Dark Mage are the only event bosses that cannot drop a ranged weapon.
