3. 🐰 Animal Statues: Summoning and Special Effects
· Animal statues, craftable at a Heavy Work Bench during the Echo Mist period, summon fake animals every 0.5 seconds.
· These animals cannot be captured and are primarily decorative.
· However, during a Blood Moon, summoned Bunnies, Penguins, and Goldfish can become Corrupted and attack the player.
· Corrupted animals are not considered artificially summoned, so they are not affected by summon limits and drop all their items.
· Throwing statues from this category into Shimmer will decompose them into crafting materials.
