A Voodoo Demon is a type of monster found in the Underworld. They are identical to Demons in behavior, but differ slightly in appearance: a small Guide Voodoo Doll hangs from one of its talons, and it lacks the blue bracelets and anklets that are worn by Demons.
They also have 20 more health than standard Demons, but deal the same amount of damage. Instead of having a chance to drop the Demon Scythe they will always drop their Guide Voodoo Doll. Note that killing one over lava will likely cause the doll to fall into the lava, killing the Guide and making the Wall of Flesh spawn.
Quick Answers

What happens when a Voodoo Demon is defeated and the Guide Voodoo Doll falls into a lava pool?
When a Voodoo Demon is defeated, it drops a Guide Voodoo Doll. If this doll falls into a lava pool in the Underworld while the Guide is alive, it results in the summoning of the Wall of Flesh, a formidable boss in Terraria. This also leads to the instant death of the Guide. It's important to note that this event will only occur if the doll is destroyed in the Underworld. If the doll falls into lava outside of the Underworld, it will simply be destroyed with no effect.

Why might defeating a Voodoo Demon in the Underworld result in an unwanted event?
Defeating a Voodoo Demon in the Underworld might result in an unwanted event because these higher-ranking demons can possess a voodoo doll of the chosen one, whose soul is linked with the world's guardian. If the Voodoo Demon is defeated and the doll is dropped into lava, it could potentially trigger a catastrophic event due to the spiritual connection between the doll and the world's guardian.

Notes
- Like normal Demons, Voodoo Demons take no damage from lava.
- They are immune to the On Fire! and Cursed Inferno debuffs.
- They tend to spawn less frequently in hardmode.
- They have a fairly low spawn rate compared to Demons.
- They also have a lower spawn rate than Template:Mobile iconTemplate:Console icon Arch demons.
- They seem to spawn frequently in Ruined Houses, so make sure to check in them as much as possible.
- They appear to spawn more frequently when you have at least a single guide voodoo doll in your inventory.
- Even if they "dunk" the voodoo doll in lava it will not summon the Wall of Flesh
Tips
- It may be worth investing time into building a 1 block thick bridge over a large portion of the Underworld. This will both ensure that no Guide Voodoo Dolls accidentally fall in lava, also making the fights with the Wall of Flesh more manageable.
- In order to effectively farm Guide Voodoo Dolls, it may be worth utilizing the 1 block thick bridge as an arena for battling multiple Demons at once, due to the low spawn rate of Voodoo Demons.
