Dropwig

Appearance:
Dropwigs are an upcoming creature designed for Rain World hard mode. As its name suggests, it resembles a black earwig with purple stripes.

Attack behavior:
Dropwigs are ambush predators, they attack by attaching themselves to the ceiling and waiting in ambush until an unsuspecting victim walks underneath them. At this point the wig drops unto its prey, catching it with its large pincers. This attack is somewhat dangerous but avoidable with good reflexes. Dropwigs are supposed to keep you always on your toes and never quite able to relax - every room is a potential danger and you need to be on your best game always!

Even on the ground Dropwigs are not to be trifled with, as they can perform an agile leap, similar to a Porcupine Spider. Spears are key to defeating a mobile Dropwig.

Trivia:

 * A Dropwig waiting in ambush will dim its purple stripes to be less easily spotted among hanging vines, chains or pipes.
 * Dropwigs are new creatures coming in the first content release, any information on this page may be subject to further tuning or change.
 * These predators will only appear when playing as the red hardmode slugcat.
