Biomes
Biomes
Biomes are paired together into opposites by the elemental force in each. The game operates on the concept that every biome has an opposite, so it's impossible to build a world that has half of a pair and not the other half. Additionally, every world generated has both a "common" biome that provides the starting location for play (near the escape pod) and an "end" biome full of the hardest creatures and the final boss.

Biome Bosses
Each biome adds a place to explore with an elemental theme, an elemental weapon, a mini-boss to tackle if you bump into it (they are not always generated as a required encounter), and a major elemental boss.
| DLC | Biome | Mini-Boss | Description | Boss | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Base | Common | None | n/a | None | There aren't any elements, mini-bosses, or bosses in the common biome. |
| Base | End | None | n/a | Hydra | A multi-headed boss where heads are probably tied to the elements in the world. More biomes can make a dramatically harder hydra final boss. |
