Fetid Baghnakhs are a Hardmode melee weapon dropped by Crimson Mimics. It is an ordinary swung weapon, save for its exceptionally low use time- lower than the Bladed Gloves, making it the fastest melee weapon in the game.

The best Modifier available to the Fetid Baghnakhs is Legendary.

Tips

 * With melee damage increasing accessories and armor, this item can become a deadly threat to enemies capable of 3000 DPS or higher.
 * Using melee armor with "Violent" modifier accessories can help. Making the Fetid Baghnakhs with the "Legendary" modifier would damage enemies with around 1000 DPS and higher. You would become more defensive and offensive.
 * Legendary or equivalent speed modifier can reach 20 Attacks per second (3-4k DPS) with 51% attack speed or 30 attacks per second (7-10k DPS) at 101% attack speed.
 * This weapon can and will absolutely devastate enemies like The Destroyer where you can hit multiple segments, the only problem is that you will take a large amount of damage, so high defense is recommended.
 * Also, it's a great way to stop enemies in front of you, due to the fast hitting, if you don't move, they'll get hit before they reach you.
 * With the correct accessories with the "Violent" modifier, this item's animation can get as low as 1 frame.

Disadvantages

 * Due to its small range, some small enemies, like The Possessed, can still hit you, going underneath this weapon.
 * Also due to its small range, faster more versatile enemies such as Skeletron Prime are more of a threat.

Trivia

 * Bagh naka are clawed weapons from India designed to be easily concealed, hence the weapon's small size. Their name means "tiger's claw" in Hindi.
