Not to be confused with its Hardmode counterpart, the World Feeder.
The Devourer is a pre-Hardmode worm enemy that spawns in the Corruption, though it is less common than the abundant Eaters of Souls. Like other worms, it attacks by burrowing through blocks 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
The Devourer consists of 10–14 segments in total.

Notes
- Devourers will not spawn if the player is standing in front of safe walls.
- Only hitting the head of a Devourer will display their kill count on the Tally Counter(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions), 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 enemies spawned in The Crimson.
Tips
- Effective weapons for fighting Devourers include spears, long-range weapons like the Wooden Boomerang, and flails like the Ball O' Hurt.
- 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."
