The nymph is powerful pre-Hardmode enemy that first appears as the Lost Girl NPC. When approached, she transforms into the Nymph and turns hostile. The Nymph appears more frequently in Pre-Hardmode because of the larger numbers of enemies in Hardmode. She is more likely to spawn in the Underground Snow Biome as it has less spawns. Consider using potions or items that detect rare enemies while looking for the Nymph.
