The Infernal Hound is a Hardmode enemy that spawns in The Underworld. It will charge at the player, at accelerating speeds, to deal contact damage, and inflicts the On Fire! and Bleeding debuffs.

Notes

• The combination of Unicorn AI, 75% knockback resistance and the debuffs it inflicts, makes this enemy very dangerous. Its charging cannot be stopped, unlike most other enemies with the same AI.
• The Infernal Hound can "swim" in lava by floating upwards whenever in contact with lava, similar to the Hell Bringer Mimic and Molten Mortar.

History

• 1.4.3.6: Decreased contact damage from 65 to 50, knockback resistance from 100% to 75% and life from 320 to 300.
