The Bactus is a flying enemy found prominently in the Contagion. It is the Contagion counterpart to the Corruption's Eater of Souls and the Crimson's Crimera. They hover around the player at a distance before periodically rushing in. There are three size variants, each with corresponding amounts of health, defense, and damage.

The Bactus has a Hardmode variant, the Viris.
