Notes
Chaos Elementals may also spawn if the player is not specifically in the Underground Hallow. They only require a block of Pearlstone, Pearlsand, or Pink Ice to spawn on.[1]
Chaos Elementals will not spawn if:
The player is standing in front of a player-placed background wall;
An NPC is housed nearby.
The player has not moved or used items for 5 seconds, even when moving on Minecarts or Conveyor Belts. However auto-jumping accessories such as Frog Leg and similar items still count as movement, as does the continuous flight offered by Soaring Insignia or a mount like Witch's broom. Being grappled into platforms and some other tiles simultaneously counts as movement because the hook resets after 10 minutes. Hoiks also count as movement. The Endless Musket Pouch can also be used with an auto-firegun.
In Celebrationmk10 worlds, the drop rate of the Rod of Discord is increased to 1*1/100 (1%).
Trivia
Elementals are magical entities who embody/personify a force of nature. Historically, elementals personify one of the four Classical elements: earth, water, air or fire (sometimes plant, but never Aether). The fantasy tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons introduced elementals that were fusions, and other unconventional elementals.
The Bestiary entry for the Chaos Elemental: "Once living beings infused by the blessing, they erratically make chase with an uncontrollable surge of luminous power."
