edit: not sure why I didn't post the link sooner, but here is additional info and some other ideas of mine, including ideas for the other bosses. also, to answer some questions asked earlier, YES, there is a BoC equivalent, now called the True Cthulhu Cortex (true version of the regular Cthulhu Cortex, which is the equivalent of the regular Destroyer). the TCC fights similarly to Ocram (and would be the pc equivalent of so) but doesn't do as much damage as the true destroyer. I want the TD to be stronger and harder to fight (but only slightly so). another person brought up the Wall of Steel, and thought it would be a better end game boss. (link for the lazy) I was planning on doing something called the Iron Curtain, which is a similar idea, but doesn't work quite the same (I want to do something different). while it technically would be end game, it would NOT be the final boss, the True bosses taking that title. the IC is required to get the item to make the mysterious device, which summons the respective boss (TCC in a corruption world, TD in a crimson world. you CANNOT summon both in any given world. they drop roughly the same stuff though so it doesn't really matter anyways) the IC would be, however, the last boss that you could fight using only stuff you got out of the world you're fighting in. the true bosses require items from BOTH kinds of worlds, and it is impossible to make the Mysterious Device without them (for example, both crimtane bars and demonite bars are needed in the recipe). I'm still working on how the bosses will attack, I'll provide more details when I actually get the boss pictures uploaded. now one thin thing I will say though, is that the bosses will give a tiny window into the backstory of terraria itself, and the guide will mention a little as well. again, it will be a very, very small amount, just enough to make you think, not the entire written history of terraria.

update: side and mandibles are done! actually, everything is done. tongue, tail, mandibles, etc. so, who wants to send this to red?!

if you look closely at the side of the head, you can see that it's the same colors as the EoW underneath. it's actually a cyborg. thing on the right is the current destroyer, for scale, and my character, also for scale.

HOLY SHIT THIS TOOK FOREVER TO MAKE hi guys, how's it been? sorry I've been gone so much... I'd like to say I have a good excuse, but really all I did was play Minecraft and Terraria the whole time. I feel exceptionally lazy... but, last night I was able to whip this up, and by whip I mean five or six hours at staring at my second monitor to try and get this done ASAP. my eyes never ached so much...

any who, who here plays Terraria? because if you do, I'm sure you're familiar with the fact that The Destroyer is already a boss in Terraria. thing that bothers me though is the destroyer is a hardmode version of the EoW, which is a corruption only boss (you cannot naturally fight him in a crimson world, you have to fight the Brain of Cthulhu instead) but the destroyer can/has to be fought in both types of worlds. where's the mechanical brain? surely there should be a robotic Brain of Cthulhu you have to fight INSTEAD of The Destroyer.

so where does this come in? well, since the release of Terraria 1.2, I've contemplated on this idea where there would be a "final boss", which takes advantage of the fact there are two basic world types. basically, in a corruption world, you have to fight a pumped up version of the robotic version of the BoC (haven't thought of a name yet, any suggestions?) and in a crimson world, you have to fight this, which is a pumped up version of the normal Destroyer. You won't get to fight it until EVERY boss/boss event is down, including the upcoming lunar boss (if they ever actually make it). when killed, rather than dropping souls of might like the normal version does, it will drop souls of twilight, which are used to craft the BEST stuff in the entire game, including a sword that combines the Terra Blade, The Horseman's Blade, Christmas Tree Sword, Vampire Knives, and Scourge of the Corrupter.

this will be the biggest monster/entity in the entire game. it will also be stronger than the robotic BoC due to being fought in a crimson world (crimson based stuff is all stronger than the original stuff). it's so large that only part of it will be in the foreground. the parts in the background are 100% transparent and can't be interacted with (which means they can't hurt you either). it's supposed to be exactly 102 segments long, 1 head/100 body/1 tail, but i might have fucked up the number of segments while making this so the picture might be slightly off. now, this is just the top, I plan on making a side view of it as well, so it looks more realistic and has more range of attacks than just "dig". also, the green segments aren't just there for decoration; green lights release "cursed probes", which shoot cursed flames at the player, and the red ones release "lazer probes" which shoot death lazers. the things on the side of the segments shoot bullets as well, green for cursed bullets and red for crystal.

some of the things he would do:

first attacks like the normal Destroyer for a minute or two

can turn to the side to launch ranged attacks

can breath cursed flames attacks that resemble Spazmatism's second form attack that remains on the ground for a few seconds after being fired, similar to greek fire launched from Mourning Woods/Pumpking

will sometimes vomit large amounts of vile spit, corrupting everything it touches (even though you'll be in a crimson world) changes any Crimtane ore it touches into Demonite ore

when it strikes the ground, causes tremors that inflict damage to all nearby entities

has a grappling tongue with snatcher AI that grabs the player and pulls them in, inflicting damage the entire time

fires death lazers like the normal Destroyer

can grab and fling the player a great distance, inflicting massive fall damage to players without accessories that negate it

can fling itself high in the air like a whale, then fall on it's side to create shock waves. can also reach high platforms while doing this to reach the player

will sometimes swipe it's tail from side to side in a similar manner to the Prime Saw

can actually swallow the player. when this happens, it will cause suffocation to the player, and steal any HP the player loses while inside it. however, it's defense is ZERO while you are inside it, and you can still attack from the inside. it will spit you out, along with more vile spit, after a few seconds

will sometimes rapidly fire bullets at the same rate as projectiles from ranged attacks during pumpkin/frost moon events. bullets cover large range and are difficult to avoid, as all the "guns" on it's side that are in the foreground and exposed will fire at the player

if you die while fighting it, it will NOT despawn. it will chase you back to your spawn point or where ever you are and continue attacking

also, if you teleport away, it will chase after you back to wherever you went. the only way for it to despawn is killing it

can be fought regardless of the time of day/night, and, again, will not leave until defeated

can summon corruption enemies to fight for it, including EoWs

when about to fire projectiles from its mouth, particles will fall from its mouth that indicate what it's about to use: barfy-green indicates vile spit, green embers indicate cursed flames, water particles when it's about to launch it's tongue

as damaged, it will launch Cursed and Lazer Probes to attack the player

has 200,000 health, and when it's hp is cut in half, it will grow mandibles and inflict more damage, like with boss alternate forms

first phase head does 50 damage, body does 30, and tail does 45. defenses are 40, 50, and 38 respectively

second phase inflicts 100, 60, and 90 damage and has 20, 25, and 19 defense respectively

death lazer does 22 damage first phase, 30 second phase

cursed flamethrower does 30 base damage first phase, 45 second phase. inflicts cursed inferno

vile spit vomit does 65 base damage both phases. inflicts weak to players without negating items (vitamins, armor bracing, ankh shield) unlike corruptors' vile spit as of 1.2, it WILL spread corruption

tongue does 40 base damage. the tongue has a separate health bar and can be destroyed. it would have 18000 hp, the same amount as Santa-NK1

bullets do 20 base damage. crystal bullets do an additional 10 base damage whereas cursed bullets inflict the cursed inferno

tremors do 50 base damage first phase, 75 second. also have strong knockback

tail also has separate health bar and can be destroyed. has 30,000 HP

mandibles inflict 70 base melee damage and are only present second phase. have a 20% chance to inflict bleeding. they can be destroyed and have 30,000 hp as well. destroying them will not change The True Destroyer back to its first phase, however

the size of the segments is purely aesthetic, it does not effect the damage or defense

killing it will cause the corruption, crimson, and hallow to behave as it would pre-hardmode again

hopefully I didn't forget anything. when it dies, it drops the following:

souls of twilight (50-125) 100%

True Destroyer trophy 100% (as opposed to other boss trophy drop rates of 10%)

purple solution (20-40) 100%

cursed flames (10-20) 20%

mechanical core (used to craft steampunk wings) 10%

between 4 plat 10 gold to 5 plat

I'll probably increase the picture size to 200% due to the fact that's how large it would be in game. Still need to sprite the tongue, mandibles, and the entire side view. the mouth will actually be shaped like a tyrannosaurus's mouth, and it would be able to open and close while in side view.

feel free to use ANY of this. and gimme a link. I would play the shit out of a mod made from this. seriously, if someone wants to code any of this, go right ahead, right now it's just a concept sadly. (I would like credit though plz) will update as more gets done.
