Queen Bee

Bestiary entry

Rarity:

This highly aggressive monstrosity responds violently when her larva is disturbed; the honey-laden hives are her home turf.

	Classic	Expert	Master	Legendary (For the Worthy)
Life	3,400	4,760	6,069	8,092
Attack	30	54	81	144
Defense	8	8	8	8
Knockback Taken	0% (None)	0% (None)	0% (None)	0% (None)
Coins	5	12 50	12 50	17 50

The last column is Master mode in a world made with the For the Worthy seed. Its numbers were measured in the game, not computed here.

For one player in a world before Hardmode. Expert and Master scale life, attack, knockback and coins by the game's own multipliers.

Coins: each kill rolls the coins from 80% to 175% of this value, then rarer extra rolls can add more.
