Bio
Deerclops is a pre-Hardmode boss, encountered in the Snow biome at midnight during a Blizzard if at least one player in the world has either at least 9 defense or 200 health, or by summoning it using a Deer Thing in the Snow biome. It will not spawn naturally if there are NPCs too close to the player. Fighting the Deerclops is not required for game progression, but defeating it rewards the player with coins and other useful items.

Spawn Conditions
The Deerclops has four attacks:
• If it is close to the player, the Deerclops will smash the ground, summoning a wave of Ice Spikes that quickly travels towards them. Every third consecutive wave does not go as far, but spreads in both directions.
• If it is not close enough to its target to use its Ice Spikes attack, the Deerclops will 'scoop' and then throw numerous chunks of Debris into the air that fall back down. These chunks can pass through blocks.
• Deerclops occasionally stand in place and roar, inflicting the Slow Debuff on all players for 12 seconds / 24 seconds / 30 seconds.
• In Expert Mode, Shadow Hands will be periodically summoned that either move forwards slowly, move forwards quickly and curve, or spin in place. Shadow Hands are summoned more frequently as the Deerclops' life gets lower.
If the player is above the Deerclops for too long, it will summon five Shadow Hands around the player.
The Deerclops can pass through solid blocks, but will quickly rise to the top of said blocks unless the player is below it.
If the player is more than 30 tiles away from it, the Deerclops will turn a dark shade purple and become immune to damage.
If the Deerclops is significantly offscreen, it will wander back and forth without directly seeking the player.
The Deerclops can be spawned using the Deer Thing in the Snow biome, crafted from 3 Flinx Fur, 5 Demonite Ore or Crimtane Ore, and a Lens. It also naturally spawns at exactly midnight during a Blizzard in the Snow biome if one player has either 9 defense or 200 health. Despite being summoned or being naturally spawned in the Snow Biome, it can be fought at any biome.
