The Wall Creeper is a spider-like enemy that can be found in caverns, spawning in and around Spider Caves, mostly in pre-Hardmode worlds. Wall Creepers are capable of climbing background walls as well as through platforms, but revert to acting like a fighter enemy when there is no background wall.

Notes

• They can be found in large quantities in Spider Caves. These caves can be identified by large amounts of cobwebs surrounding the cave's walls.
• On the  Desktop version, Wall Creepers can still spawn, albeit rarely, in Hardmode. On the  Console,  Old-gen console,  Mobile, and 3DS versions, Black Recluses completely replace them once Hardmode starts. Unless the player has obtained a Wall Creeper Statue, the Wall Creeper Banner will be unobtainable in a world that has already entered Hardmode.
• Like all spiders, Wall Creepers cannot travel through a vertical 2-tile wide shaft.
• They crawl through 1 block tall holes in walls.

Trivia

• A quote of the Skeleton Merchant suggests that he may have become skeletal due to this spider.

• The Bestiary entry for the Wall Creeper: "They have eight legs, eight eyes, and eight ways to cocoon and feast upon an unsuspecting victim."
