However, this also means that any large body of water would work, though, using a Fish Statue to increase the spawn rate can help a lot more in this specific case. Since fish spawns are a bit different, due to needing to be caught from a body of water, there isn't a set biome where one can find goldfish in general. This is one time where a Jungle biome's mostly green visual aesthetic will be helpful, as the yellowish tinge of the Gold Frog's body will be comparatively easy to spot as opposed to their green kin. Leaping around dense jungles, players can, on occasion, spy a Gold Frog. Gold Dragonflies also have a Bait Power of 50% for excellent fishing ventures. Like bunnies, dragonflies can be found in any surface biome, and are thereby one of the easiest gold critters to come across. Gold Butterflies have a Bait Power of 50%, which can make them great for fishing. They can sometimes be tricky to distinguish from yellow species of butterfly, though, "gold" in Terraria means a darker yellow with a brownish-yellow outline. Slowly floating above flowers in a forest, Gold Butterflies can often be seen where there is bright plantlife along the ground. They aren't particularly fast or resilient, so trapping one once spotted will be easy. These golden hares can sometimes be seen hopping about tall grass, like other bunnies. They can be hard to spot and catch, so some form of flight could be helpful. These can be spotted fluttering about the grass and trees of certain surface biomes. After sighting them, simply scoop them up with one's preferred Bug Net to collect them into the player's inventory.Īlternatively, it is possible to increase the chance of a gold critter spawning by using one of the many corresponding Statues in the game, such as, for example, the Fish Statue for spawning more goldfish. One of the best tactics for finding specific golden critters in Terraria is to explore the biomes that their species naturally spawns within. Though, their spawn rate is just very low (below 1%), so finding some of them will take lots of patience and exploring rather than the determination and planning needed to take down a boss.

A common trend that one should always remember when hunting golden critters is that each appears just like non-golden variants of their species.
