The Clown is an uncommon Hardmode enemy that appears during Blood Moons. The clown's primary weapons are smiley bombs which will do standard bomb damage to a player or NPC when they detonate (up to 100 damage), but will not destroy player-placed tiles. Its bombs can be shot out of the air with most weapons. Touching the clown itself inflicts melee damage and has a chance to inflict the Confused debuff.

Once you have defeated at least one Clown, the Clothier will start selling the clown costume.

Notes

• Although Clowns are a relatively rare enemy, at least one Clown will usually appear over the course of any Blood Moon during Hardmode (More if the player is in the Jungle or has an enemy spawn increasing item in effect, like the Water Candle and/or Battle Potion).

• Although the Bananarang rare drop is a weapon, due to its stackable nature (a feature shared only with Light Discs), the Clown may drop multiple Bananarangs at a time (up to four at most).

• Sometimes there will be four clowns in the exact same place in the mobile edition.

• On rare occasions, the clown can throw three bombs at a time.
