'''Critters''' are characters that do not normally cause harm or interact with the player in any other way, except in that they can be killed by players or enemies rather easily. They have very low health and serve as ambient wildlife in the world of Terraria. Some critters can be summoned by means of a [[statue]], and otherwise spawn randomly in any environments that support them. There are currently 28 different Critters.

|stack = 99
As of 1.3, some critters have a golden variation that has a 1 in 150 chance of spawning instead of a normal one. These golden critters sell for 10 gold each.

All Critters can be caught with the [[Bug Net]]. If a Critter caught with a Bug Net is taken from the inventory and "used" (placed on the ground), it is again released into the environment to behave as usual. Many caught Critters can also be combined with a [[Terrarium]] to make a [[Cage]] for display. In the case of [[Butterfly|Butterflies]], a [[bottle]] is required instead to make a [[Butterfly Jar]], or [[Bottled Water]] in the case of [[Goldfish]]. Bottled [[Firefly|Fireflies]] and [[Lightning Bug]]s also function as light sources. In the {{console version}}, some captured critters can be sold for {{sc|5}} as well.

|use = 19

|id = 3092
Many caught Critters can be used as [[Bait]] with a [[Fishing Pole]] in order to go [[Fishing]]. These generally include any insect, worm, or mollusk (snail) Critters.

* This and the [[Key of Night]] might be a reference to Kingdom Hearts.
* The spawn rates and spawn caps of Critters are affected by many of the same factors as those of hostile [[enemies]], so [[Water Candle]]s, [[Battle Potion]]s, and [[Calming Potion]]s will affect Critter spawns.
 
* Once a Critter is put inside a cage, bottle, or jar, that single Critter can no longer be released, and will stay in there forever. An alternative is to simply release the critter into an enclosed area, though the Critter can then despawn if a player travels far enough.
 
* Critters regenerate health, although it's next to impossible to see this happening.

* [[Key of Night]]
* With several [[NPC]]s acquired, keeping [[Water Candle]]s around your [[Town]] will cause more Critters to spawn, without spawning enemies.
