The Headless Horseman and the Mourning Wood are iconic Hardmode enemies of the Terraria game, appearing during the Pumpkin Moon event. The Headless Horseman is a relentless, fast-charging enemy immune to knockback, making close combat risky. With the strongest, dark purple horse, this character, with a glowing pumpkin instead of its head, can easily do a low, quick jump to reach the player. Meanwhile, the Mourning Wood is a terrifying flaming tree with a jack-o’-lantern face, attacking with volleys of fiery spikes and Greek Fire. Both are feared for their damage and increasing aggression with each wave, especially in the final stages of the event. A fanart Terraria cursor with the Headless Horseman and the Mourning Wood.
