## Backstory

Not much was known about the Perforators. The 2 most likely theories were that they were once one of the Devourer's kind that fled to the Crimson, and that they originated from the Crimson in the first place. Either way, the Brain of Cthulhu took interest in their power once they were created and assigned them to guard their temple.

## Role

### Pre-Hardmode Arc

The Perforators' first and only appearance in Arc 1 was when they appeared at the entrance of the Temple of Cthulhu in front of the group to warn them to turn back. When the adventurers refused to, the Perforators allowed them to enter, only for them to be forced to retreat from the powerful monsters that dwelt within.As they did so, the Perforators would direct them to a cave within the Crimson which contained materials which they could use to forge stronger weaponry.

## Abilities

### **Projectiles**

All 3 worms were capable of firing Ichor shots. The small and large worms were only capable of 'spitting' it, while the medium worm could shoot them from any of their segments. The small and larger worms were able to fire blood clots from their body segments.
