Hive Cyst

The Hive Cyst is a rare Pre-Hardmode stationary enemy that spawns in The Corruption biome. When killed, it will summon The Hive Mind. The Hive Cyst has abnormally high life for Pre-Hardmode, ensuring that early players won't accidentally summon the boss. It is the Corruption counterpart to the Perforator Cyst.

The Hive Cyst can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer and its upgrades.
