The Moon Lord is a Hardmode, post-Plantera boss that spawns after all four Lunar Events have been defeated. It is referred to as Terraria's "final boss".
Quick Answers
What is the Moon Lord's role in the game Terraria?
The Moon Lord plays a significant role in Terraria as the final boss of the game. This formidable adversary is summoned either by using a Celestial Sigil or by defeating the Celestial Pillars. The Moon Lord is known for its challenging combat mechanics, requiring players to defeat its two hands and a head by attacking the eyes that appear on them. Once all three eyes are destroyed, a core opens on its chest that also needs to be defeated. The Moon Lord drops a majority of the endgame items, including the Meowmere, and Luminite, an ore used to craft many endgame armor sets and tools. Therefore, learning how to fight the Moon Lord is crucial for players aiming to reach the endgame content of Terraria.

How can you summon the Moon Lord in Terraria?
In Terraria, the Moon Lord can be summoned in two ways. The first method is by defeating all four of the Celestial Pillars, which triggers the Moon Lord's arrival after a short delay. The second method is by using a Celestial Sigil, an item that can manually summon the Moon Lord when used. Both methods will lead to an epic showdown with the lord of the moon, so be prepared for a challenging fight!

What happens after the status message 'Impending doom approaches...' appears in Terraria?
In Terraria, after the status message 'Impending doom approaches...' appears, it signifies that the Moon Lord, the final boss of the game, is about to spawn. This happens one minute after the message appears. The Moon Lord can be spawned by destroying the four Celestial Pillars or by using a Celestial Sigil in any world where Golem has been defeated. If you're using the Celestial Sigil, the Moon Lord will spawn in just 12 seconds after the message. So, get ready for a thrilling fight!

What is the significance of the Golem in relation to the Moon Lord in Terraria?
In Terraria, the defeat of the Golem is a significant event that sets the stage for the appearance of the Moon Lord. Once the Golem is defeated, Cultists spawn at the Dungeon's entrance. When these Cultists are killed, it summons the Lunatic Cultist and then the Lunar Events, provided certain other conditions are also met. This chain of events eventually leads to the summoning of the Moon Lord, the final boss of Terraria. Alternatively, the Moon Lord can be summoned directly using the Celestial Sigil.

What is the Celestial Sigil and how is it used in Terraria?
The Celestial Sigil is a boss-summoning item in Terraria, specifically used to summon the Moon Lord, a post-Hardmode boss. It's crafted from 12 / 20 of each of the Lunar Fragments. Unlike other summoning items, the Moon Lord doesn't appear immediately after the Celestial Sigil is used. Instead, it takes 12 / 60 seconds for the Moon Lord to actually show up. The Celestial Sigil can only be used under certain conditions: the world must be in Hardmode, the Golem must have been defeated, and there should be no ongoing invasions.

Parts
Notes
- He spawns True Eyes of Cthulhu that fire lasers at the player.
Tips
- One should be wary of his mouth, as it will attach a tentacle to the player and pull multiple kill-able essence-like monsters out of the player. If not killed by the time they reach the mouth, the Moon Lord's Head is healed for 1000 health for each of them.
- If one teleports to the spawn point in the middle of the fight, the Moon Lord will not despawn. Actually, he is pretty slow, so you could go back for healing whenever you are going to die, heal with the nurse, return to the fight and carry him away from the spawn point. This technique can be repeated indefinitely.
Trivia
- Despite a mid-development comment by Cenx that this would not be the case, the Moon Lord resembles common depictions of Cthulhu, a creature first imagined by H.P.Lovecraft in his story, The Call of Cthulhu. It also fires "True Eyes of Cthulhu". This is partially a nod to broad fan speculation prior to the release of 1.3 that Cthulhu would be the final Terraria boss, which arose in part due to an early concept design floated by the development team.
- This boss had originally been planned to be the moon itself descending on the world, however Cenx later stated[1] this plan had been abandoned in favor of a different concept that was not revealed at the time. The new concept presumably became the Lunar Events and Moon Lord. The old concept may have been inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Final Fantasy VII, or the film Armageddon.
- The Moon Lord shares similiarities to a Tenome, a man-like creature with its eyes not in its face, but in the palm of its hands.
