Scarabeus is a Pre-Hardmode boss and the first boss of the Spirit Mod. It is intended to be fought after the King Slime.

While Scarabeus is alive, its exclusive Music will play.

Spawn

Scarabeus does not spawn on its own and requires the player to summon it with an Scarab Idol which can be crafted or can be found in the Ancient Ziggurat structure in the Desert.

Behavior

Scarabeus will walk like a bug and fly during certain attacks, it can rain sand balls on the player or shoot sand balls in the air, it can also go underground temporarily to try and pop up and hit the player. In phase 2, it will summon a sandstorm, albeit this effect is purely visual. He begins to fly much more often and has a new attack. In Expert Mode, his movement speed is increased. If the player exits the Desert, Scarabeus will enrage, and will take 1 damage from all attacks. Note: Scarabeus will not do contact damage unless ramming the player or doing attacks that are clearly melee.

Attacks

Phase 1:

• Scarabeus will charge at the player a couple of times
• Scarabeus will attempt to fly above the player and slam down, causing sand balls to shoot up in the air. During this, Scarabeus will stand still, allowing easy attacks.
• Scarabeus will go in the sand and attempt to bump in the player by popping up multiple times
• Scarabeus will attempt to run into the player
• Scarabeus will jump horizontally while launching multiple sand balls that are affected by gravity
• Scarabeus will turn into a ball and attempt to roll into the player at high speeds

Phase 2:

• Starts a sandstorm in the background, albeit this effect is visual and will not unfairly hinder moevment.
• Maintains all attacks from phase 1, although his movement speed is increased and is almost always flying
• Scarabeus' slam attack will now happen multiple times in a row
• Flies left and right at high speeds launching tens of sand balls from above and also trapping the player during the attack
• Scarabeus will start spinning and releasing multiple bugs while a giant yellow line appears to telegraph a swarm of bugs flying in it's direction
• Will occasionally summon more bugs to stay above the player and charge down, killing themselves upon hitting the ground

In Expert Mode

• Scarabeus' movement speed is increased.

Trivia

• Scarabeus' design is heavily based on the Dynastinae or "Rhinoceros Beetle," which is a subfamily of the Scarab Beetle Family, hence its name.
