Statues

Statues are decorative items that can be placed as furniture. Some of them are also mechanisms and will have an effect when connected to wires and activated.

Statues can be obtained in different ways, they can be found in chests or you can find them already placed, most common in the world's dungeon or deeper caves. To pick up a statue, a Hammer must be used, similar to the way other furniture is removed or picked up.

Statues with a function
No monsters spawned will drop coins. The exception being the bunnies and goldfish during a blood moon or when hit with Vile Powder, as they change instantly into their corrupt versions, and no longer count as spawned. Thereby during a blood moon you can still farm money by exploiting this.
