The Wall Creeper is a spider-like enemy that can be found in caverns, spawning in and around Spider Caves, mostly in pre-Hardmode worlds. Wall Creepers are capable of climbing background walls as well as through platforms, but revert to acting like a fighter enemy when there is no background wall.

Notes[]

They can be found in large quantities in Spider Caves. These caves can be identified by large amounts of Cobwebs surrounding the cave's walls.
On the PC version, Console version, Mobile version, and tModLoader version, Wall Creepers can still spawn, albeit rarely, in Hardmode. On the Old-gen console, Windows Phone, Old Chinese, 3DS , and tModLoader Legacy versions, Black Recluses completely replace them once Hardmode starts. Unless the player has obtained a Wall Creeper Statue, the Wall Creeper Banner will be unobtainable in a world that has already entered Hardmode.
Like all spiders, Wall Creepers cannot travel through a vertical 2-tile wide shaft.
They crawl through 1 block tall holes in walls.

Trivia[]

A quote of the Skeleton Merchant suggests that he may have become skeletal due to this spider.

The Bestiary entry for the Wall Creeper: "They have eight legs, eight eyes, and eight ways to cocoon and feast upon an unsuspecting victim."
