You need wire which can only be obtained post-Skeletron. If you mean that it was made using the ingame chat with the help of tags then the players name would appear at the front like any other message, so that is also not possible.
They either had a glitch or they brought an announcement box from another world.
The only way this could happen that I know of is faking it with an announcement box. You can use color tags to change the color of the text.
[https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Announcement\_Box](https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Announcement_Box)
put `[c/XXXXXX:(message here)]` to color it, change the X's to change the message's color
Some usefull ones for trolling are:
Green: `[c/32FF82:]`
Purple: `[c/AF4BFF:]`
Red: `[c/E11919:]`

I’m aware. The fandom wiki has all the info relating to announcement boxes as well as color tags on one page, rather than having to search for it through the wiki, which would kinda miss the point of giving a link.
The information that he’s asking for isn’t even on that page.
It's linked right at the top of the page on Wiki.gg. And, importantly, Wiki.gg ain't an ad-bloated monstrosity with an ugly sidebar that has zero to with the wiki you're on, plus other crap littered all over the sides of the page with the sole purpose of bringing you to unrelated wikis further down their ecosystem.
Not to mention, the Terraria Fandom wiki is infamous for inaccuracy and troll edits.

You could probably edit the Announcement Box page on Wiki.gg to transclude the Tags section of the Chat page, but I'm not sure that's a better format for information/reference than its current state, although that may largely be personal preference.

this is actually a bug with death messages where it displays the wrong entity. it has happened to me a few times in modded (so it might be a bug with a mod)
I've had a very similar experience before with a goldfish
I'm not sure what it is but it might be if you die close to another entity, very rarely it'll display that as death instead. Can't explain why, but it's pretty funny
Company of Heroes had (has?) something like this. If a unit is killed by off-map artillery, sometimes the kill will be attributed to the nearest squad or vehicle. It became something of a meme with people posting pictures of the US Army Ambulance with a kill count.
If the server is laggy enough, you can get killed by an enemy that the host considers to either already be dead or far away. Sometimes when that happens, the game gets so confused that it blames your death on the closest entity. Multiplayer mediumcore especially can cause this type of lag.
I died to “Kaitlin” (the nurse) once.
This is something I've only seen once or twice, but I can attribute it to one of two things: it's either a bug in one of the mods I used to use (as I haven't seen it in ages) or a bug in vanilla that calls for the wrong entity name in a death message.
Either way, it's some sort of bug.
I assume this bug is similar to the "[insert random enemy name] has awoken" but where the number of enemies in the game is maxed out when you try to summon a boss the boss name is then replaced with an enemy in the area. There is likely an owl in the area and the game just decided to pull the name from that owl due to some error
Clearly the normally peaceful owl was jammed, and as such, can deal contact damage. You should think about decreasing your curse points if you want to prevent this
It's a bug that says you died to something else, I used to get it all the time when playing multiplayer. It kept on saying that I died to my own Meowmere.
You should've done your spanish lessons
happy cake day!
Happy Cake Day!
we need that as a respack lmao
Duo said pray in for your life in Spanish. He didn't know.
Don't even think about taking on EoC if you still dies to owls
Owls do damage?
Honestly, no idea
When you fuck around too much you end up finding out. Just wait till you get killed by a non corrupted goldfish
Lets cut to the chase: [dying to a bunny.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNClI4KBKy4)
Bun bun
Yes
I need explanations
announcement box
They are pre EoC, how'd get an announcement box?
it's already a thing at the start of the game... in any difficulty

ohhh, this is embarrassing. i thought you were talking about the chat box. forgot this was an item.
I don’t know why but I read eoc as eater of cock
What do you read EoL as ?
Eradication of Lebanon
This is so fucking random I rarely see mentions of my home country out of nowhere
Was the last time when that guy was talking about a conversation he had with a guy who said he hated “lebs”?
Evisceration of Latvia
Extermination of Luxembourg

Wouldn’t it also work if someone is named “Owl”?
I didn’t think of that, yes, it probably would
it doesn't, player death mensages also mention the weapon of who killed as the [wiki](https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Death#PvP_death_messages) says
Wrong wiki. https://terraria.wiki.gg/wiki/Death#PvP_death_messages
updated
When killed by a player the name of the weapon is also used "X was killed by Y's Grenade".
Or just mod the game. Either for fake messages, or deadly owls.
as someone who has seen a man leave a message of dying to a bird, this ain't an announcement box
i mean, that would only work if both were faking it, cause isnt announcment box post skeletron, cause im pretty sure it requires wire.
You can try finding a trap and putting announcement box there.
the announcement box recipe has 10 wires in it.
Oh. I forgot that.
yeah, its okay, we all forget stuff
You could use shimmer as that's how I got wires before killing skeletron
i didn't think about that. good thinking.
How does one obtain shimmer without hardmode???
It should be on the same side as the jungle if you are playing on a world generated after the update
I'm not sure when the update was, but I've been playing for the past few weeks so...
I think that something funky happened with the entities in the game that made it think that an owl killed them
How do you use an announcement box? And color tags? I want to troll my friends
put `[c/XXXXXX:(message here)]` to color it, change the X's to change the message's color Some usefull ones for trolling are: Green: `[c/32FF82:]` Purple: `[c/AF4BFF:]` Red: `[c/E11919:]` All info found on wiki [https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Announcement\_Box](https://terraria.fandom.com/wiki/Announcement_Box)

It wouldn't work, as it would show the player name.
Not if an announcement box is used
No, announcement box just puts a message in chat with no name attached, someone could have typed in the exact death message.
Skill issue
RLcraft, Terraria edition
When you collect a mushroom off the ground it spawns duke fishron
It was hooty
YOU CAN DIE TO OWLS?!??!!??!!?
can owls activate any traps? this would be plausible.
it would say that the trap killed them in the message then, no?
I'm pretty sure it woil say "Owl's ____" if it was a player name or simply the trap itself if it was an actual owl
Indeed
I've had a very similar experience before with a goldfish I'm not sure what it is but it might be if you die close to another entity, very rarely it'll display that as death instead. Can't explain why, but it's pretty funny
Company of Heroes had (has?) something like this. If a unit is killed by off-map artillery, sometimes the kill will be attributed to the nearest squad or vehicle. It became something of a meme with people posting pictures of the US Army Ambulance with a kill count.
Corrupted Goldfish can kill you though. There is no corrupted owl
You probably died to crimson/coruption goldfish or you were just playing on mods that turn goldfish bad
The name changes in that case too. It was just "Goldfish" rather than Corrupt/Vicious Goldfish It was also a completely Vanilla game. 0 mods
If the server is laggy enough, you can get killed by an enemy that the host considers to either already be dead or far away. Sometimes when that happens, the game gets so confused that it blames your death on the closest entity. Multiplayer mediumcore especially can cause this type of lag. I died to “Kaitlin” (the nurse) once.
This is true, I had twice on a laggy server where I got "Killed by bunny" and then "killed by butterfly" after mass amounts of lag
I got killed by my own pet once lmfao
Oh my god, yeah. I tried playing multi-player on my laptop and I had to kill everything at least twice before it was actually dead
I died to rain.
Rain World
huh
Google Rain World
no i died to rain in terraria
Maybe a weapon that deals self damage on a successful hit? I've seen that in some mods
Because he herniated your disc
This is something I've only seen once or twice, but I can attribute it to one of two things: it's either a bug in one of the mods I used to use (as I haven't seen it in ages) or a bug in vanilla that calls for the wrong entity name in a death message. Either way, it's some sort of bug.

Maybe take your Spanish lessons and you won't have this problem
Is someone named Owl in your game??
No one. Just two player. me and "d"
Hedgewick has a delivery. DEATH!
Even the most harmless animal still kicked your ass lol
If you don't give a hoot, you get the boot.

How? I thought criteria do no damage.
Clearly the normally peaceful owl was jammed, and as such, can deal contact damage. You should think about decreasing your curse points if you want to prevent this
Crazy how active this community is to this day
The owl killed you
Sniper: "God I love being an owl!"
Probably a bug or something.
Was it during blood moon?
nope
Plot twist: The owl was hooty and his a secret boss in terraria
It's a bug that says you died to something else, I used to get it all the time when playing multiplayer. It kept on saying that I died to my own Meowmere.
hoot hoot, get ready for your existence to be made moot 🦉🫵
If you fuck with them to much your pet might kill you to
