Aspid Aspect is a Charm in the Ancient Aspid Mod. It summons a friendly Primal Aspid (Aspid Pet) which fires projectiles dealing 8 damage at enemies.

Usefulness

The Aspid Pet functions similarly to the Grimmchild, floating behind the Knight and targeting enemies. Like a regular Primal Aspid, it spits three blobs of venom spread 35 degrees apart, the middle one aimed at its target. The Aspid Pet's shots deal 8 damage each, like a Phase 3 Grimmchild, but unlike the Grimmchild's shots, they also deal 1 mask of damage to the Knight, so it is recommended to get out of the way of the Aspid Pet's shots when it fires.

How to Acquire

Reward from defeating the Ancient Aspid in the Ammonite Aery.

Charm Synergies

Glowing Womb

Hatchlings are replaced with Mini Aspid Pets, which function identically to the Aspid pet but are smaller and deal only 3 damage per shot. Like the Aspid Pet, the shots of the Mini Aspid Pets deal 1 mask of damage to the Knight.

Trivia

• Although the Mini Aspid Pets still use SOUL to spawn, they do not despawn until the charm is removed because unlike Glowing Womb's Hatchlings, they do not use direct contact to damage enemies.
• The Aspid Pet (and Mini Aspid Pets) do not require sitting at a bench to go to sleep; after 9-11 seconds they find an area on the ground nearest the Knight and sleep there, if there are no enemies nearby.
