Not to confused with its Hardmode counterpart, the World Feeder.

Devourers are large Worms that spawn in The Corruption, though they are uncommon compared to the abundant Eater of Souls. Like other Worms, including the Eater of Worlds and The Destroyer, they attack by burrowing through tiles to reach the player.

The Devourer requires 25 kills to be awarded completion of its Bestiary entry and corresponding banner, as opposed to the usual 50 kills.

Segments

Devourers consist of 10-14 segments in total.

Notes

Devourers will not spawn if the player is standing in front of housing walls.
Only hitting the head of the Devourer will display their kill count, although killing them will always add to it.
- Additionally, the Devourer Banner will only affect damage taken and dealt by the Devourer's head.
Devourers are much less common than the secondary monsters spawned in The Crimson.

Tips

Obtaining the Ball O' Hurt is a good option for players who have trouble with killing Devourers.
The easiest way to kill a Devourer for very new players is to dodge and use Wooden Boomerang or any other ranged/Flail type weapon.
Spears also tend to rid a player of worm type enemies very easily.
A distinctive burrowing sound can be heard when a Devourer is approaching. Devourers will also cause small dirt particles to spring up where the worm is located.

Trivia

The Bestiary entry for the Devourer: "Worm-like monstrosities are the Corruption's most favored creatures, tunneling underneath unsuspecting victims."
