Wall of Flesh

The Guide is the deuteragonist of the sandbox game Terraria. He serves as the guide for early game players as well as the final boss of pre-hardmode when he becomes the Wall of Flesh.
The Guide is a mysterious, very knowledgeable man who appears at the start of the game as the Terrarian's first NPC and companion, teaching them what they need to know to survive and eventually restore balance to the world. His apparent true form, the Wall of Flesh, is the core and guardian of the world and presumably the reason for the Guide's immense knowledge.
==Appearance==
The Guide is a seemingly young man with tanned skin, short brown hair, brown eyes, a light green long-sleeved tunic, blue pants and brown shoes.
The Wall of Flesh is naturally a giant, hulking wall of flesh with two giant eyes and a gaping mouth with sharp teeth. A number of tendrils are extent from either side of it, those in front possessing jaws of their own.
== Personality==
The Guide has a very plain demeanor, speaking in a polite and matter-of-fact tone. He seems to be slightly sarcastic as he sometimes gives advice that's clearly self-evident. He refers to the Terrarian as "kid" multiple times, suggesting a mentoring relationship, as well as "buddy", suggesting he considers them a friend as well. He's also fond of the Clothier and Zoologist because they "have a lot in common", presumably that they all have/had a monstrous alternate form. He dislikes the Steampunker for rubbing him the wrong way and hates the Painter because "the world is fine the way it was made".
==Biography==
Prior to the events of the game, the Wall of Flesh served as the planet's core and guardian presumably since its creation, serving to maintain the world's natural balance as dictated by the Gods. As part of maintaining balance, the guardian had sealed a number of powerful spirits and other phenomena inside itself that were too dangerous to leave active.
The Guide is said to be a "chosen one whose soul is linked with the world's guardian", seemingly being an avatar/human form of said guardian although this is contradicted in some places in the game. His overall background is mysterious but has several implied details. According to the official lore, there exists an organization called the Order of the Guide that serves to record knowledge of the world and is presumably connected to the Guide himself, him possibly being the founder. The Guide has implicitly walked the earth for a long time as he says he's "quite used to not having a home" and eventually met the Terrarian, the two of them having been fated to cross paths by the world itself so that he could show them their path as its eventual savior.
After several battles with other beasts of Terraria, the Terrarian eventually reaches the depths of the Underworld where they collect a voodoo doll of the Guide from a Voodoo Demon and cast it into one of the lava pools, killing the Guide and awakening his apparent true form. The Wall of Flesh immediately tries to kill the Terrarian, chasing them at a steady pace through the Underworld and dragging them back down if they try to escape.
On Expert Mode, when the Wall of Flesh's health begins to lower to critical levels, it begins to speed up in pace, its attacks becoming far more quick and frantic, indicating that the Wall of Flesh has become desperate to stop you. Ultimately, if the player wins and the Wall of Flesh dies, the spirits of light and dark are unleashed, plunging the world into a whole new level of chaos but also enabling the player to become much more powerful and destroy several of Terraria's biggest threats.
