Feral Bite is a "debuff" that may be inflicted when a player is hit by a bat (10% chance) or Duke Fishron (33% chance) in Expert mode. It increases player damage by 20%, but lowers player health regeneration and may randomly inflict Darkness, Cursed, Confused, Slow, Weak, or Silenced debuffs.

Debuffs[edit | edit source]
When the player is afflicted with Feral Bite, there is a 1/1200 chance per frame for one of six debuffs to inflict the player. When the game is running at the target 60 frames per second, the effective chance is 1/20 every second (approximately 1-20 seconds).
| Debuff | Duration | Chance | |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Darkness | 1.8-3 seconds | 1/6 (16.7%) |
 |
Cursed | 0.45-0.75 seconds | 1/6 (16.7%) |
 |
Confused | 0.9-1.5 seconds | 1/6 (16.7%) |
 |
Slow | 2.1-3.5 seconds | 1/6 (16.7%) |
 |
Weak | 3-5 seconds | 1/6 (16.7%) |
 |
Silenced | 0.6-1 seconds | 1/6 (16.7%) |
Notes[edit | edit source]
- While at the first look seeming like a rather weak debuff, the randomly occuring status effects can cause major damage to a player. The Confused and Weak debuffs can easily catch players on the wrong foot, especially when they are not aware of being under the influence of Feral Bite.
- Having an Ankh Charm or Ankh Shield eliminates all the debuffs (which technically makes this a pseudo buff like the Tipsy effect).
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Internally, Feral Bite is named "Rabies", a real disease which affects animals and humans.
