Glory Mod/Neon Tyrant

The Neon Tyrant is a Pre-Hardmode boss that is the Glory Mod equivalent of King Slime. Its appearance is that of a massive.

The boss may spawn under one of the following conditions:
 * A player uses a Slime Crown.
 * 150 slimes are defeated during the Slime Rain event (or 75 if Neon Tyrant was already slain in the world at least once).
 * Completely by itself in the outer sixths of the map, on grass and during the daytime. This, however, is quite rare.

Behavior
Being the first boss, the Neon Tyrant has a relatively basic pattern of attacks. However, these attacks are still difficult to dodge, so proper caution must be taken during the fight.

Attacks

 * The Neon Tyrant summons Neon Slimes, which spawn relatively close to each other
 * The boss creates two "walls" of neon sawblade-like projectiles around the player, which the player must avoid.
 * The boss launches a barrage of neon blobs into the air, which rain down on the player.
 * The boss teleports above the player, falling down and shooting walls of projectiles left and right

Tips

 * The neon sawblade walls can be very difficult to escape if the player does not have platforms to get over it. When building an arena, it is advisable to build several rows of platforms to deal with this attack.
 * Don't panic when the boss's neon blobs fall from the sky. While the amount of projectiles can seem overwhelming, there is more than enough space to fit between them.

Trivia

 * Neon, what this boss is based on, is a real-life element. It glows red-orange when placed in an electric field, hence the boss's color.
