The Angry Dandelion is a pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns on grass during the Windy Day event. It is stationary and shoots 1–3 damaging Dandelion Seed projectiles at the player every 0.67 seconds.

Notes

• Like the Windy Balloon, Angry Dandelions can only spawn upwind of the player.
• The Angry Dandelion can only fire seeds in the direction of the wind; it cannot shoot in the opposite direction. Furthermore, it can only fire at players that are within a 62.5×12.5-tile rectangle centered on the enemy.

Trivia

• The Angry Dandelion has similar mechanics to the Nipper Dandelion from the platforming video game Yoshi's Island DS. Nipper Dandelions release spores when they are affected by wind.

The Bestiary entry for the Angry Dandelion: "All this wind can make just about anyone angry. Evidently, this includes otherwise harmless dandelions and their deadly seeds."
