Biomes

### Night Plains

The night plains is a desolate biome with its grass being the same color of a held Night Grass Block. Shadowroot trees spawn here, along with Nightstone boulders, spires, and Rockshroom mounds.In addition to Night Grass, the common ghost plant and Bristly Grass grow rampant. Nightstags roam the plains, munching on its plentiful grass and Ruined Gatehouses can sometimes be seen towering over the fields

#### Subtype: Malignant Grassland

Malignant Grasslands are a biome much like the night plains but with different colored grass and the occasional patch of Malignant Plants. Malignant Flora is frequently encountered in this biome, but other things like Tendrilweed, Bristly Grass, Ghost Plants and Shadowroot Trees also generate. Nightstone spires can be seen jutting towards the sky, and Nightstags are often spotted grazing the fields.

### Vigilant Forest

The vigilant forest is a dark, foggy forest home to various types of trees like Shadowroot and Dark willows and fungi like Bladeshrooms and Nightshrooms (which sometimes generate in fairy circles) Ghost Plants, Unstable Fruit Bushes, Violeaf, and Lumen Buds cover the ground. Players might encounter the occasional Slink or Ruined Gatehouse as they spawn in this biome. In addition to what’s mentioned above,  Dragon’s Nests, Bristly Grass, and Suavis clusters also generate.

#### Subtype: Vigilant Valley

Vigilant valleys are almost identical to vigilant forest in that they contain all of the same mobs alongside the overall flora and funga. The main difference is that no trees, giant fungi, or dead stumps spawn here. Basically, it's a grassy clearing.

#### Subtype: Towering Vigilant Forest

Towering vigilant forests are older than their base variant. Because of this, the shadowroot trees have gotten time to grow taller. In addition to the trees, one can sometimes find Nightstone boulders underneath the towering vegetation. Other than that, this biome is essentially the same as a vigilant forest.

#### Subtype: Runebush Grove

This biome is much like the vigilant forest except lots of suavis clusters spawn here and the Grass is a shade of light blue. Runebushes are abundant here and can only be found in this biome.

### Fungi Forest

The fungi forest is a glowing, easy to spot, biome full of both small, medium, and giant nightshrooms, viridshrooms, and dewshrooms. Other fungi like Bladeshrooms can generate here, alongside common flora like Shadowroot Trees (which are sparse) and Grass. Coarse Dirt can sometimes generate in place of the normal Grass Block and mobs like Nightstags and Slinks can spawn here.

### Deceitful Swamp

The deceitful swamp is a low lying biome where you can find Deceitful Peat, Deceitful Mud, Bogweed, and Bogshrooms, which are a unique, orange-colored fungus. Shadowroot and Dark Willow trees spawn here, as well as Ghost Plants and Night Grass on land and Deceitful Algae and Night Reeds in the water. Deceitful Snappers spawn in the biome's water pools (which spawn at lower elevations) and can make an easy but deadly snack.

#### Subtype: Deceitful Marsh

Deceitful Marshes are a flat and hazy biome filled with a dense amount of Night Grass on top of substrates like Deceitful Peat, Grass, and Deceitful Mud. At lower elevations, pools of water can sometimes accumulate and provide a home for Deceitful Snapper. In terms of vegetation, this biome has Ghost Plants, short and tall Bogshrooms, and Bogweed on land, with Night Reeds and Deceitful Algae in the water.

### Warped Fields

Warped field biome features warped, mountainous terrain that almost looks like a monolith jutting out of the ground, with floating islands being a common occurrence. The Grass here is a muted cyan and organisms like Viridshrooms, Dewshrooms, Ghost Plants, and Shadowroot Trees speckle the land.

### Dark River

Dark Rivers are an aquatic biome that cuts through two land biomes. Their floors are made up of [Midnight Dirt|Night Dirt]] and Strange Sand, but no life has colonized them

### Dark Ocean

Dark Oceans are an expansive aquatic biome that can get pretty deep. The seafloor is composed of Night Dirt and Strange Sand, but as of now nothing really generates here

### Rocky Shore

Rocks shores are an edge biome that separate dark oceans and a land biome. As the name suggests, these biomes are composed almost entirely out of nightstone. Other than the occasional patch of dirt or body of water, nothing generates here.

### Obscured Peaks

Obscured peaks are rocky, mountainous biomes composed out of nightstone and large strips of trenchstone. Small patches of Night DIrt can be found on the ground and both short and tall Mistshrooms spawn here.

#### Subtype: Obscured Plateau

Obscured plateaus are a hilly biome that tapers off into a flat top. This biome is mainly composed of Nightstone, but clumps of Dirt and ores can also be found here. Due to its height, Ebonite Ore can be easily found on the surface, but other ores can be found further down. This is the only biome where Moonshrooms naturally grow

### Crystal Spires

The Crystal Spires biome has a faded pinkish sky and plenty of glowing Bloomcrystal rock formations. Both short and tall Night Grass, Ghost plants, Bristly Grass, and crystal flowers are native to this biome. Shadowroot Trees are dotted around the plains and animals like Nightstags and Crystal locusts roaming the crystalline landscape.

### Dead Forest

Dead forests are a desolate biome made up of Dead Trees and Stumps The Grass here is a shade of sickly green, but life has begun to recolonize this desolate wasteland. In addition to the occasional Shadowroot Tree, things like Ghost Plants, Violeaf, and Tendrilweed can be found on the surface.

### Malevolent Forest

Malevolent forests are a wooded biome with crimson Grass, Ghost Plants, and towering Manglewood Trees. Patches of Malignant Plant Blocks sometimes spawn in place of Grass and serve as soil for Malignant Bloodstem, Grimlock, and Mangledrakes. Nightstags also spawn here.

### Black Ridge

Black Ridges are a hilly biome that can sometimes act as a biome separator. This biome is composed mainly out of Nightstone with the occasional patch of Dirt. No No vegetation grows here other than Mistshrooms. Hunters are notorious in this biome and will target anything that comes in their proximity.

#### Subtype: Phantasmal Valley

Phantasmal valleys are an aquatic biome with a floor made out of Nightstone and Dirt patches. This biome typically spawns between obscured peaks, plateaus, and black ridges to form fjords. Like the black ridge, this biome acts as a biome separator.

## Underground Biomes

Below the surface dwells a gigantic Cavern, each with its own special Biomes

### Caverns

Normal caverns (pretty much just caves) are the most common subterranean biome. This biome has cave generation typical of the overworld with various ores and Stinger eggs generating below the ground.

### Greater Caverns

The Greater Caverns is an expansive cave biome that can be found at very low elevations, they sometimes even touch bedrock. Stingers and their Eggs are very common in this biome and lava puddles and lakes spawn throughout the caverns as well. Large Nightstone stalagmites and stalactites make up the cavern's generation and it is the most abundant block.

#### Subtype: Rouxe Caverns

Rouxe caverns are very similar to their parent biome in terms of world generation. The only difference is that Rouxe Rock formations can be found on the cavern floor. These biomes are easy to spot because of the crystalline red boulders, but harder than bloomcrystal spires because they don't glow. In prior versions, Novas would spawn underground, but they were left unimplemented in the most recent Beta 0.5.11.

### Fungal Caverns

Fungal caverns are a cave biome in the Midnight that consists of midnight mycelium and glowing glob fungi. The biome gives off a magenta hue much like the crystal spires. Unlike the other caverns, fungal caverns contain much more life and usually don’t generate all the way down to bedrock.
