Man Eater

Man Eaters are found in the Underground Jungle environment. These plants can easily kill you if they catch you unaware. Destroying the Stone Block or Mud Block that one is rooted on kills it instantly; however, this method of dispatching a Man Eater never yields any loot.

The Man Eater can pass through blocks and is immune to knockback. Man Eaters deal a lot of damage - they have the strongest "melee" attack in the game - and close contact with them should be avoided at all costs. They are particularly dangerous when tunneling into the underground jungle, because they can kill a player very quickly in dark areas before they are even visible.

1.0.5 : Man Eaters no longer drop jungle set items. They now pass through blocks, are immune to knockback and no longer extend their stems when struck.
