Aphid
–Wurt
Aphids are hostile mobs that periodically spawn from Large Fern and Infested Giant Redwoods.
Aphids wander around searching for any valid food that they can eat, these include:
- Any food item, with the exception of Goodies and Horrible Foods (Pig Skin, Bunny Puff, Slurper Pelt, etc.)
- Any pickable resource, such as fully grown Farm Crops, Cut Grass from Grass Tufts, Twigs from Saplings, Stone Fruit from Stone Fruit Bushes, Cut Reeds from Reeds, Foliage from Large Fern, etc.
They can eat whole stacks of valid food at once and have a cooldown of a few seconds before trying to eat again. Aphids also have a similar mechanic to Batilisks, where the player can kill them while they're munching to make them drop the items they consumed.
If an Aphid is at close range to a Giant Redwood, they have a chance to fly to the top of the tree and start a timer for infesting it. That Giant Redwood will turn into an Infested Giant Redwood after 26 minutes and 40 seconds (3.3 in-game days). While the timer is active, more Aphids can fly to the top of the tree, but the timer won't decrease or accelerate in any way.
They cannot be put to sleep, and will be frozen with a single shot of an Ice Staff.
