20 Missable NPCs That Give You Incredible Rewards

When you start playing Terraria, you'll quickly grow to hate all the zombies that spawn at night and look for a way to stay as far away from them as possible.

However, if you're a fashionista or a sucker for rare collectible items, there is at least one zombie that you will want to find—Doctor Bones.

Doctor Bones is a unique zombie rocking a stylish hat that has one of the smallest spawn rates out of any NPC in the game.

Despite the rarity, he still acts like a regular zombie and even shares similar stats. The only thing that makes him different is his fancy hat, which he drops after being killed.

The piece of apparel, called the Archeologist's Hat, is a one-of-a-kind object. It's part of the Archeologist set, even though, unlike the other two parts, it cannot be crafted and can only be obtained by finding and killing its incredibly rare owner.

If you want to become an archeologist, you best keep your eyes peeled for unusual corpses. A piece of advice that, in some strange and twisted way, also applies to real-life archeology.
