The Groom is a zombie variant that only appears during a Blood Moon. It acts the same as normal zombies, slowly walking towards the player to deal contact damage, while attempting to navigate around obstacles and opening doors if they are in the way. It has greater health than most other zombies, and is dressed in a tuxedo and top hat. It can drop the Top Hat when killed, and also the Brain in the  Old-gen console version and  3DS version of Terraria.

It does not have any variants, nor does it have an Armed variation in Expert mode  . The Bride is its marriage counterpart.

Notes

• Despite dropping the Top Hat, the other two pieces of the Tuxedo set are crafted using Silk and Black Thread.

Achievements

Trivia
