Queen Spider

The **Keeper of Nature** is a Pre-Hardmode boss. It is spawned when using 100 Bones, 250 Dirt, and 80 Wood. The boss summoning item looks like a Dirt Totem. He can only be spawned after Skeletron is dead.

He has the same health as Skeletron, but has more defense, attacks, and drops. He also drops a Dirtlust Staff at a 1% chance. He has the nature spikes, which will come out of the ground and do 20-30 damage. He will also summon Grassmen and Grasswomen, which will chase after the player. Once he is at half health, he will start spawning Tree Men and Tree Women. He also begins to fire dirt at the player, dealing 30-40 damage. At 15% life he will gain 30 more defense and start shooting grass needles, which do 80-120 damage. At 1% life he shoots them everywhere, but at that stage they only do 5 damage per grass needle.

He drops the Dirt Rod at a 1% chance, Core of Nature at 100% chance, Nature's Revenge, a magic weapon that makes a giant dirt spike that costs mana. The Groot Staff summons Tree men to fight for you, The Leafwing Bow, fires any arrows, but when the arrows hit anything, they explode into 5-8 leaves, that do half the bows damage. Then, the Sword of the Forests, shoots leaves that will seek enemies and kill them. The leaves from the bow and sword can go through walls. All the weapons are auto swing.
