Does the Angler NPC have spawn requirements?
According to the Angler page on the official wiki, this NPC can be found sleeping in the sand of an Ocean biome. Are there any other specific requirements to find him, i.e. hard mode or the like? I searched both ocean biomes in my world, and I didn't run into this new character. Is encountering him, like most other things in this game, simply random?
Best Answer
No, the angler has no spawn requirements, but there are some glitches like spawning on water and two spawning at the same time.

Either find an area with slab walls in your dungeon and make a rusty armored bones farm, or make a large body of water somewhere in the underground for anglerfish. There are quite a few large ponds in my underground jungle, but the angler fish spawns rarely.How do you spawn the angler fish in Terraria?
