Pinkymod/Infestling

The Infestling is a Pre-Hardmode found in the Corruption. It flies towards the player to deal contact damage.

Bestiary Entry
Vile flying minion of the Corruption Forces. Their surprisingly resistant, albeit squishy bodies play an important task in spreading the 'blessings' of the dark plague. Infestlings are simply chunks of corrupted growths, the pestilent tumours of the land given wings and further life. They bramble mindlessly towards wherever the corruption has not touched. There, they would take root into the pure soil, and unleash their ooze as the grass beneath turns purple and their wings rot away. But very few Infestlings have stories that end in success. Most either die on the way there, are turned into snacks on the way there for greater corruption lifeforms. Those that do make it must ensure that they survive long enough to unleash their fluids, less they get hacked to death before being able to do so.
