Notes

• Although it is called a "Grenade", it destroys blocks like a Bomb.
• The fuse time is roughly 5 seconds.

Trivia

• The Holy Hand Grenade originates from the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where Saint Attila requested God to bless a grenade, becoming the "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch". ("O lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayest blow thy enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.")
  • This particular iteration of the item comes from the Worms games, a series of turn-based strategy games developed by Team-17, with the same ""Hallelujah!"" sound effect and massive destruction potential. The melody of the sound effect is similar to the principal theme in Handel's "Hallelujah" chorus in his famous composition "Messiah". The item was introduced to Terraria through the Worms 3 crossover.
• It is one of the few pre-Hardmode items with a rarity of 07*.
• This item currently deals the highest weapon base damage among all versions of Terraria.
