- All Calamity and Vanilla Town NPCs gain several changes to their stats.
- They are made immune to every debuff.
- They take as much damage as the player does, instead of taking half of it.

Providence, Polterghast, The Devourer of Gods, and Yharon will each increase their defense by 12 and damage by 20% when defeated.
- When killed, the Angler has a 8.3% chance to drop a Golden Fishing Rod in Hardmode.
