The Angry Dandelion is a pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns on grass during the Windy Day event at daytime. It is stationary and shoots 1–3 damaging Dandelion Seed projectiles at the player every 0.67 seconds.^[1]

Notes

• Like the Windy Balloon, Angry Dandelions can only spawn upwind of the player.
• Angry Dandelions can only spawn on grass and mowed grass blocks that do not have any background walls directly above them.
• The Angry Dandelion can only fire seeds in the direction of the wind; it cannot shoot in the opposite direction. Furthermore, it can only fire at players that are within a 62.5×12.5-tile rectangle centered on the enemy.^[1]

Trivia

• The Angry Dandelion bears a striking resemblance to the Nipper Dandelion from the 2006 platforming game Yoshi's Island DS. Nipper Dandelions also release spores when they are affected by wind.
• Despite being a dandelion, the Angry Dandelion drops Dayblooms, possibly due to there being no dandelion item in-game.

• The Bestiary entry for the Angry Dandelion: "All this wind can make just about anyone angry. Evidently, this includes otherwise harmless dandelions and their deadly seeds."
