Terramites are minions that fight alongside Enlightened W.A.R.B.O.T.. They are created by the Grainy Transmission after giving him an encapsulated Gestalt.

When Terramites are activated by Enlightened W.A.R.B.O.T., they will start synchronously spinning around it. If they touch objects that can be chopped, they will chop them. If they touch objects that can be mined, they will mine them and bounce away from them. They bounce when they touch each other.

When they touch any player mob, they deal 50 damage and play a little stun animation. If player is wearing hard armor, there is 50% chance that they will not be damaged, bouncing away the Terramite. Here is a list of armor that counts as hard:

Sometimes,[Need Clarification] all Terramites will stop spinning temporarily and activate lightning barriers between each other. Every Terramite creates a barrier between itself and the 3-4 nearest other Terramites. Lightning barriers deal 30 Electric Damage, meaning players that aren't immune to Lightning will take 45 damage, and wet players that aren't immune to Lightning take 75 damage.[Verification Needed] It will deal damage every second when the player is standing on the barrier, which makes the player play the stun animation. Players wearing Lightning protection gear like an Eyebrella will get damaged by the barrier less often.

If a Terramite is defeated, it will break and stop moving. In this state, it heals 5Health Meter.png per second and activates once it gets back to its full 280Health Meter.png.

After Enlightened W.A.R.B.O.T. is defeated, they become inactive and friendly.

Spear.png Fighting Strategy

Below is the number of hits it takes with each weapon to kill a Terramite when playing with characters with a default damage modifier. The Weather Pain, Brightshade Staff, and Bee Mine are not included due to their random natures. This table does not take into account the damage bonus gained from characters with a lunar or shadow affinity. It also does not take into account the 40% damage bonus Wendy gets from attacking the same mob as Abigail, Wanda's damage bonus with Shadow weapons (except for the Alarming Clock, which does accurately reflect that bonus), or Wolfgang's damage multiplier when he isn't mighty.

Friendly Terramites

After Enlightened W.A.R.B.O.T. is defeated, they become inactive and friendly. In this state, they can be hammered for a Gyroscopic Transduction Core, which can be used to repair a damaged Terramite or Warbler.

After repairing, the Terramite can be used to automatically chop trees and mine rocks in an approximately 5 tile radius from where it is deployed. When it tries to mine, it will bounce from it and have 50% chance to not object.[Need Clarification] While spinning, Terramites inadvertently pick grass and twigs and damage any mobs in their path.

In contrast to Terramites fought during the Enlightened W.A.R.B.O.T. boss fight, friendly Terramites do not damage players.

Once no more targets are detected in the radius where it was deployed, it will return to the place where it was dropped and idle. However, if there is another friendly Terramite, they will ride towards each other and bounce off when they touch. This does not consume durability.

It has 2000 uses and can be repaired using a Gyroscopic Transduction Core. Once it reaches 0% durability, it will break.
