The Destroyer is very similar to the Eater of Worlds, in that it digs underground to strike at players from below. If The Destroyer is not defeated before dawn, it will despawn. This is only applicable if The Destroyer has yet to be defeated. After one mechanical boss has been defeated, this changes to a 1 in 20 chance, and after two mechanical bosses have been defeated, this changes to a 1 in 10 chance. It will then have a 1 in 30 chance of appearing at dusk.
