The Alien Queen is a Hardmode, post-Lunatic Cultist flying enemy that is present within range of the Vortex Pillar during the Lunar Events. It attacks by shooting small blue projectiles that can inflict the Distorted debuff.

Upon death it spawns a certain amount of Alien Larvae, which can quickly grow into Alien Hornets, which can then grow into more Alien Queens.

Debuff

The Distorted debuff is inflicted by the Alien Queen's shots and causes the player to constantly rise and fall in midair with wave-like motions, based on position.
