The Jungle Creeper is a Hardmode enemy found in the Underground Jungle. It resembles a Black Recluse colored brown with a bit of green. They climb on background walls similar to Wall Creepers.

It can inflict the Acid Venom debuff and, in Expert Mode, gains a special spit attack that applies the Webbed debuff to players.

Notes[]

  • Like all spiders, Jungle Creepers cannot travel through a vertical 2-tile wide shaft.
  • Due to their AI when not crawling on a wall being the Fighter AI type, all spiders including Jungle Creepers can open doors.
  • Jungle Creepers seem to be weaker than most enemies at the time making them more of a hassle than a real danger.
  • The cooldown between web spit attacks lasts 3 seconds. It is paused if the Jungle Creeper loses focus on the player or has no direct line of fire, and it is increased by between 0.33 and 1 second when the Jungle Creeper takes damage.[1]

Trivia[]

  • The Jungle Creeper is the strongest spider enemy in the game, being stronger than the Black Recluse, the Blood Crawler, and the Wall Creeper.

The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Jungle Creeper: "The itsy bitsy spider climbed up a jungle vine, down came a hapless explorer and the spider got to dine. The End."
