Bio
Plantera is a Hardmode boss that can be fought in the Underground Jungle after all three mechanical bosses (The Destroyer, Skeletron Prime, and The Twins) have been defeated. Plantera drops a Temple Key upon defeat, allowing access to the Jungle Temple. She appears as a living dragonflower bulb with vines that she can grab onto, once half health her appearance changes to a carnivorous state with thorn-like fangs and a split-tongue, she will also have tentacles known as "chompers" sprouting out from her body.

Spawn Conditions
Plantera will attempt to chase after the player, always trying to make her main bulb overlap the player's space. This results in a very linear kiting fight. She moves fairly slowly when compared to a player with speed-boosting equipment. This means a player in a large enough arena can easily keep a distance, assuming they just keep moving. As such, a good arena can make the fight much easier. Do keep in mind that if your arena gets too large, the middle of it may no longer be detected as Underground Jungle. This can be avoided while maintaining a comfortably large arena by making the space more long and narrow rather than square (or by simply somewhat widening a natural jungle cave then letting the jungle grass grow back over the surface). Also, cutting the edge of the arena with notches rather than a clean edge produces more jungle grass tiles on the perimeter and helps to maintain the jungle biome recognition.
- After all three mechanical bosses have been defeated, Plantera's Bulbs will randomly spawn in the Underground Jungle (indicated by the status message "The jungle grows restless..."). Instead of spawning instantly after defeating the mechanical bosses, they grow similar to Chlorophyte Ore. Destroying one of these bulbs will immediately cause Plantera to spawn, usually a fair distance off-screen. The bulbs can be broken in various ways including: with a pickaxe or drill, with Dynamite, with lava, or if the Jungle grass underneath them is removed, e.g. via biome spread, actuating the blocks, or the Clentaminator.
