The Scarecrow is a Hardmode, post-Plantera enemy that spawns during the Pumpkin Moon event. There are ten varieties of Scarecrow, five of which lack legs and can only move by jumping, while the other five follow the normal Fighter AI. Scarecrows have a 1/10 (10%) chance to inflict the Weak debuff for 1 minute / 2 minutes / 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Defeating a Scarecrow during the Pumpkin Moon event will add 1 / 2 / 2.5 points to the final score.^[2]

All Scarecrow varieties require 150 kills to be awarded completion of their Bestiary entry and corresponding banner, as opposed to the usual 50 kills.^[3]
