The Enthralled Dramcryx is an aggressive mob which spawns at very low elevations, regardless of light level. It is related to the Jungle Dramcryx and looks like a bigger purple version. Upon death, they drop Corrupted Shards, which are used to craft Corrupted Stones, which are then used in the crafting of Corrupted Items, the Altar of Corruption and the Mysterious Clock.

Combat

The Enthralled Dramcryx is the strongest melee mob that you can find underground in the Overworld. It is so strong that it can kill an unarmored player in 1 hit. The player must be wearing decent armour (Realmite or above) and a relatively strong weapon (Diamond Sword or better) in order to have a good chance of being able to defeat this powerful adversary.

The reach of its melee attack can sometimes be surprisingly far, and because it has a large amount of health, a suitable tactic to fight this creature is to spam click your sword on it to keep it at a distance. However, one can simply build a barrier of sorts to prevent it from ever reaching you while you can attack it with a sword or a ranged weapon (preferably an [[|:Category:Anchor|Anchor]], as it has infinite durability and ammo). This can be done by making a hallway at least 4x1x2 in size, then dig one block down at the entrance and lead the Enthralled Dramcryxs to the hall and place a block in the top of the entrance once in the hole. Now just do as said previously and attack repeatedly until they die (it's best to kill a few Frosts to make a Frost Sword, since it can easily be obtained due to the Frosts horrible accuracy, and it does a moderate amount of damage compared to vanilla Minecraft weapons).

Spawning and Farming Techniques

The Dramcryx only spawns at very low elevations so the best way to spawn it is to build a large spawning chamber (16X16 or greater) at roughly levels 10/5.
The spawning rooms should be well lit, so that vanilla mobs such as zombies and skeletons do not spawn.
You can then build a protected area in one of the corners of the chamber so that you can hit the Dramcryx without it hitting you. Keep in mind that its melee attack range is impressive, and he can attack you from over 1 block away, It does not matter what weapon you hit it with - but it should at least have decent durability for its damage.
Due to spawning mechanics in Minecraft, if you are close to these spawning rooms, no further mobs will spawn. However, since The Dramcryx is the only source of Corrupted Shards, this is the only farming method for it that is effective.
There is also a good chance that you will find other ores such as Rupee and Arlemite when creating these spawn chambers, so this method of spawning the Dramcryx has other benefits too.
Occasionally, if you die multiple times in the same area of some Dramcryxes, they'll start to build up due to spawning and can easily be farmed 4 or 5 at a time.
Other underground mobs may spawn in these spawning rooms as well, such as the Caveclops, Cave Crawler and the Rotatick, which may get in the way (unless you are farming for their drops too).
