Tim is a Mage. He's a rare spawn in the stone layer. He always drops the Wizard Hat and defeating him is the only way to obtain one.

Tim is similar to the Goblin Sorcerer, in that he fires a projectile 3 times before teleporting. These projectiles are called Chaos Balls, do 20 Damage each, and can travel through solid blocks. A player can destroy them with any weapon. While Tim's attacks resemble that of a Goblin Sorcerer, he has double the defense and five times the health.

NotesEdit

• Tim very rarely spawns and only in the Stone Layer (between about 500 and 3000 feet below sea level).
• He is so far the rarest monster in the underground.
• He can be found simply by waiting in the rock layer, but seems to spawn faster the closer you are to The Underworld.
• You can increase his chance of spawning using items such as a Water Candle and/or a Battle Potion. Using the Speed Glitch may also help. These methods will also increase the spawn rate of other monsters, though.
• The Blood Moon event also increases his spawn chance.
• Though Tim's robe closely resembles the craftable Robe item, you can not obtain the Robe from him.
• Additionally, Tim's attacks emit light and can reveal hidden caves after passing through solid blocks.
• When Tim is slain, he will drop his Wizard Hat, which increases the wearer's defense by 2 and magic damage by 15%.

TriviaEdit

• Tim's name is a reference to "Tim the Enchanter" from the 1975 movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Some fans believed Tim was a reference to the Prodigal Sorcerer, who is also known as "Tim," in the card game Magic: The Gathering, but this too is a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
• Tim is the first magic-casting enemy to wear a hat.
• Tim was the first Undead enemy to have a name.
