The Alien Queen is a Hardmode, post-Lunatic Cultist flying enemy that is present within range of the Vortex Pillar during the Lunar Events. It attacks by shooting Alien Goop projectiles that can inflict the Distorted debuff.

Upon death it spawns a certain amount of Alien Larvae. These can quickly grow into Alien Hornets which can then grow into more Alien Queens.

Debuff[]

The Distorted debuff is inflicted by the Alien Queen's shots. It causes the player to randomly rise and descend in wave-like motions based on horizontal position.

Trivia[]

  • The Alien Queen is possibly a reference to the Queen Xenomorph in the 1986 film Aliens.

The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Alien Queen: "The final evolutionary stage of the alien hornet. They fire powerful disruptive energy at their prey, and give birth to many larvae."
