Stay away from the spiders. They'll suck out your insides and leave you a hollow shell of a man. Trust me on this one.

— The Skeleton Merchant

The Wall Creeper is a spider-like enemy that can be found in caverns, spawning in and around Spider Nests, only in pre-Hardmode worlds. Wall Creepers are capable of climbing background walls (as seen in their dens) 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 nests. These nests can be identified by large amounts of cobwebs surrounding the cave's walls.
• They are immune to knockback while they are on a wall.
• They never spawn in a Hardmode world, and are replaced by Black Recluses. Unless the player has obtained a Wall Creeper Statue, the Wall Creeper Banner will be unobtainable in a world that has already entered Hardmode.

Trivia

•   The quote by the Skeleton Merchant suggests that he may have become skeletal due to this spider.
•    The Wall Creeper cannot crawl through Platforms.
