The Ornery Chest is a neutral Mob that mimics an Ornate Chest. It looks like a normal Ornate Chest and has the same loot table. The Ornery Chest can be revealed when players open the mimicked Ornate Chest. Once revealed, it will start to attack the players and knock out the items in their inventory. It will also eat the items on the ground. If a Shadow Atrium is devoured it will drop a Possessed Shadow Atrium when killed. Every Ornery Chest can only infuse 1 Shadow Atrium into Possessed Shadow Atrium.

Ornery Chest has Planar Entity Protection, which greatly reduces Physical Damage from a Weapon.

Ornery Chests will not spawn until the players enable Shadow Rifts. After killing Ancient Fuelweaver, players can give 5 Dreadstones to the Beckoning Hand to enable Shadow Rift. After 5 days the first Rift will open and roughly 1/3 of the Ornate Chests will turn into Ornery Chests. After that every time the Shadow Rift spawns it will turn more Ornate Chests into Ornery Chests.

Tips

• It is possible that Ornate Chests will all get turned into Ornery Chests after a few Rifts.
• Resetting the ruins will also reset the Ornery Chests.
• The player can let Ornery Chest eat a Trap as well as a Shadow Atrium. When it is killed the Trap will drop on the ground and catch the Possessed Shadow Atrium.
  • If the player is quick enough, they can pick up the Possessed Shadow Atrium by hand before it starts to move.

Trivia

• From the Rhymes with Play stream, the original plan was for the Ornery Chest to mimic your chests in the base. But due to the fact that the mob would be encountered very rarely and also due to the fact that it would be necessary to draw a new skin for it for each chest, the idea was abandoned.
