Terraria – What do the new statues do

terraria

Since the 1.1 update I've retrieved a few statues from underground houses. While I'm pretty sure that the bunny statue spawns bunnies, and the slime statue spawns slimes, I have no idea what the rest of them do.

According to the wiki there are three types of functional statue:

  1. Statues that spawn items
    • Bomb statue - spawns bombs
    • Heart statue - spawns hearts
    • Star statue - spawns mana stars
  2. Statues that spawn enemies
    • Bat statue -spawns a bat
    • Bird statue - spawns a bird
    • Bunny statue - spawns a delicious dinner (or a murderous beast during a bloodmoon)
    • Chest statue - spawns a mimic
    • Crab statue - spawns a crab
    • Fish statue - spawns a goldfish (corrupted during a bloodmoon)
    • Jellyfish statue - spawns a jellyfish
    • Piranha - spawns a piranha
    • Skeleton - spawns a skeleton
    • Slime - spawns a slime
  3. Statues that teleport NPCs
    • King statue - teleports a random male NPC to the statue
    • Queen statue - teleports a random female NPC to the statue
  4. Bonus: Dart trap - fires a dart which damages and has a chance to poison the creature hit

The item spawning statues can spawn an item approximately every ten seconds.

There is a limit of three spawned monsters of a given type that can exist in the world at one time. The monsters spawned from statues do not drop money, but, with exception of the mimic, do drop items. During a bloodmoon bunnies and goldfish will immediately turn corrupt and will drop money when killed. Because the corrupt versions do not count towards the 3 spawn limit, they can be spawned and harvested for cash quickly.

Any statues not listed do not have a known function.
