◊ That and the addition of ichor, seems to be evidence as to how the Crimson came to be. If one looks closely, the Crimson background features what appears to be mountain sized bones, such as a skull and a ribcage.Well, to be fair, there will be no sympathy to the beings born from pure malice driven only to kill everything or extensions of an eldritch sentient biome trying to assimilate every single lifeform into itself.Think about it, you're a creature living in the Crimson/Corruption biome, then some random adventurer starts destroying your home, turning the grass blue, the stone white, and then you see all the people you used to know being slaughtered in front of you. In an essence, by killing them, you're basically putting them out of their misery. Now, imagine if these werewolves turned back into humans to find their families and friends dead, and having to live with that for the rest of their lives. It says that yes, werewolves were people, but once they turned into the monsters, they instinctively slaughtered all of their loved ones and friends, and now want to devour everybody else, including you and your NPCs. Their Bestiary entry definitely does not help.You're on an island with few people to help you, and you're really killing them. To be fair though, you're probably getting those souls from horrible monsters and eldritch abominations.Several of the hardmode items are crafted using souls.That means nothing good could have happened to those who took up underground. We have: traps that are placed pretty randomly into underground locations, mineshafts and dwellings that pop up in some pretty deep locations, a large, fleshy wall with two eyes and one mouth you summon by throwing a voodoo doll of the first human you meet, and somebody apparently rebuilding large monsters using machines.
