Devourer

Devourers are large worms that reside in the Corruption.

Like the Eater of Souls, Devourers impede the player's progress through The Corruption and will often knock them into chasms. When there are multiple Eaters of Souls and a Devourer on the screen, getting back out of the chasm can prove difficult, even with a Grappling Hook.

Destroying any part of the Devourer kills it. The best way of killing a Devourer is the same as killing any other worm, using weapons that can hit multiple enemies simultaneously like the Ball O' Hurt and Blade of Grass.

Drops
As with all worms, Devourers drop for a single segment. Destroying several segments simultaneously (with Explosives) can yield multiple drops. Grenades on their own will only destroy the head, so Bombs or better are suggested.

They can be farmed in the same way that Bone Serpents can be farmed if the player is making large amounts of Unholy Arrows. The player can create a platform of Dungeon Bricks or Hellstone and throw Dynamite just before the worm burrows into the ground. With this timing, the entire worm should reach the platform just as the dynamite explodes.
