On Day 144, Cobalt acquired a hell corruption that gave him antlers that grow in a cycle.
Day 1-6: The antlers grow in over the course of a week, covered in soft, fuzzy velvet. During this time they're sensitive to pressure and the tips have a slightly spongy give to them.
Day 7-34: The velvet peels off to reveal the finished antlers. They're hard and strong, able to endure considerable battle damage without breaking. Which is fortunate, considering how often Cobalt hits them on doorways.
Day 35-37: Antlers are only very loosely attached and any minor jostle will knock them off. The exposed pedicle is covered by his hair and he may experience up to three days of looking like a normal person before the next set starts to grow in.

Set 3
On Day 216 his antlers began regrowing, and the velvet shed on Day 223. This set had the same number/arrangement of points as the last one, but each tine was slightly longer. Antlers fell off on Day 254.
Set 4
On Day 258 his antlers began regrowing, and the velvet shed on Day 264. This set has the same number/arrangement of points as the last one, but each tine is slightly longer. Antlers should have fallen off around Day 293-294 but, due to a temporary transfer to a part of Hell where time moves differently, they came off around a week early and had regrown by his return on day 291.
