The Cougher is a Hardmode enemy which spawns in The Contagion. It will fly quickly towards the player, stopping when nearby the player to cough, spreading a damaging cloud which inflicts the Pathogen debuff.

Trivia

• The coughing sounds were recorded by Jeo, a developer of the mod.
• Much like Ducks and Owls that have a human voice say "quack" and "hoot" as a rare Easter egg, Coughers have a 0.33*1/300 (0.33%) chance to say the word "cough" instead of their normal sound when coughing.
• During Valentine's Day (February 14), Coughers will spawn wearing a party hat with one of five colors:

• The Bestiary entry for the Cougher: "Coughers fly around seeking prey to coat in their poisonous breath, Their breath contains a pathogen able to completely destroy their target's immune system making it easier for the contagion to infect."
