Void Jockey

Void Jockeys are the void versions of regular Jockeys that spawn during Nights of the Void, which occur once every four days in a Survival map. They possess a distinct and more purplish look, with a toned-down purple skin and gray hair. As a void creature, they're constantly awake, however, unlike others, they won't run away to despawn when it's daytime.

The Void Jockey's fighting technique is different from a regular Jockey; they will chase the player to attack them (multiple times if they are able to), then run or hide away, and finally dash back to the player and attack them again. They will repeat this cycle until the Void Jockey or player is defeated, or if they're out of sight. Along with them having higher HP, more resistance, and being able to deal up to 45 points of melee damage, this can be very annoying, so the most optimal way of fighting back against them is by properly timing attacks every time they dash back, which will eventually get them defeated.

After defeating a Void Jockey, they can drop any of these items:

• Perillas, used for cooking certain foods;
• Universal Activation Stones, capable of enchanting any weapon, piece of armor, or tool;
• or Void Crystals, used for mutating certain animals and plants into their void counterparts, preventing void animals from turning into their normal forms, and for crafting Void Blocks.
