Dustevils are aggressive creatures that spawn in the Canyons and Desert. Dustevils can spawn on any Canyon-related kind of block, including Cacti and Sandstone. They do not need darkness to spawn. Dustevils have decently strong attacks and a fair amount of health. At first sight, they appear to be a harmless heap of bones lying on the ground. But if a player comes too close to them, they will rise up and begin pursuing the player, attacking them with blasts of wind. These attacks often have a knockback effect, which can be especially dangerous if struck while already jumping - it can fling the player high into the air, dealing fall damage.
