Earth Elemental

The Earth Elemental is a rare Hardmode mini boss found in the Underground and Cavern layers. Its method of attack is to fly toward the player and charge every seconds, while firing blasts of small rocks, which burst upon impact with blocks. Occasionally, a larger rock is fired which bounces off blocks twice before exploding.

Due to its intimidating size, ability to phase through blocks, and immunity to all forms of knockback, it can be a dangerous encounter for unaware players.

Trivia

 * The Earth Elemental resembles a gladiator. Furthermore, the arm resembles a weapon called the scissor, consisting of a tube which covered the forearm and a semicircular blade on the end.
 * However, the spriter has confirmed that they "have no idea what that end was supposed to be", and that "it just looked cool".
 * The Earth Elemental is referred to in the mod's files as "Horse".
 * This is due to the fact that the Earth Elemental was formerly a horse-like creature.
