Mechanic (Terraria)

The Mechanic (commonly known as Meredith) is an NPC in Terraria that sells construction-like materials. She was a prisoner in the dungeon and later becomes a trader to the player. The Mechanic will automatically move into an unused house with the appropriate necessities.

=== About ===
=== Appearance ===
The Mechanic has several steps before appearing. First, the player must successfully defeat skeletron and then explore the dungeon until she appears. The player will find the mechanic bound, either being labeled as “prisoner,” or “bound mechanic.” If the player frees her, she will thank them and proceed to act as a normal NPC.
There are no special requirements for the Mechanic’s housing, except for the basics, including a table, chair, walls, house structure, a door, and a light source.
=== Defense ===
The Mechanic will throw her wrench, that acts as a boomerang, when an enemy is nearby. It appears that her wrench can pass through enemies, thus useful against groups. She is very effective against a goblin army.
=== Weaponry ===
The Mechanic will equip herself with a wrench during a fight or battle with an enemy/mob. She will proceed to throw her wrench like a boomerang and attack the enemy.

=== Fun Facts ===
*The Mechanic will defend herself from enemies.
*Just like the Wizard, Goblin, and Stylist, the Mechanic is another bound and prisoned NPC in the game.
*The Mechanic‘s most commonly spawned name is Meredith.
*It is hinted that the clothier (or old man) imprisoned  the mechanic while he was under his curse.
*If the Mechanic’s name is Ginger, it can be implied that she was named that because of the color of her hair.
*When the mechanic is freed by the player, she will say the following: "Thanks! It was just a matter of time before I ended up like the rest of the skeletons down here."
*The mechanic and the nurse seem to be hostile during blood moons, as they replace their default quotes with offensive ones towards the other. The merchant, if talked to, will say he can hear them arguing.

== Trivia ==
* It would appear that the Mechanic and the Goblin Tinkerer are fond of each other, as they are the first characters to show affection in Terraria (excluding the Arms Dealer and Nurse as they generally flirt with all of the opposite sex NPCs).
* The Mechanic is one of four NPCs who don't give the "(NPC name) the (NPC type) has arrived" message. The other three are the Wizard, Guide, and Goblin Tinkerer, as the Guide spawns in a new world, but respawns with the message. Although the Mechanic, the Wizard, and the Goblin Tinkererhave to be unbound, they respawn with the message, like the guide.
* Although the topmost corridors of the Dungeon may be accessible prior to defeating Skeletron, the Mechanic will only be found below zero depth. Therefore, encountering her always requires defeating Skeletron, because the Dungeon Guardians spawning below zero depth will override all dungeon spawns.
