Eater of Souls

The Eater of Souls is the most common enemy encountered in The Corruption. The Eater of Souls will float above you for a few seconds, and then zip directly towards you to attack. This keeps them from getting stuck on the Ebonstone Block outcroppings that litter the Corruption



These foes have a high potential to knock you down into the chasms they're found near. It's suggested when traveling through the Corruption that you have a Cobalt Shield equipped if you have one. Otherwise, using Dirt or Stone Blocks to span the pits and chasms is a good plan.

The Eater of Souls has two size variations: The Big Eater and the Little Eater.

The Big Eaters are slightly larger and more powerful than a standard Eater of Souls, but are also slower. They have 45 health, do 26 damage, and have 10 defense. They're not much slower than a normal Eater of Souls and they pack a punch and have more health, so make these foes a priority when you see them.

The Little Eaters are slightly smaller and quicker than a standard Eater of Souls, but are also weaker. They have 34 health, do 19 damage, and have 6 defense.
