Man Eater

The Man Eater is found in the Underground Jungle biome. 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 dropped items. Man Eaters are similar in appearance and behavior to that of Snatchers, but Man Eaters deal more damage.

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 of any pre-hardmode enemy - 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. Caution should be advised even when the player seems to be out of the Man Eater's reach, as they can extend their stems and thus improve their reach rapidly. Snatchers also behave in this way.

Man Eaters are immune to the Poisoned debut. Note to self: Get a mining helmet and don't even try to use poison.

Differences from Snatchers

 * Man Eaters can be distinguished from Snatchers by their body color, which is a brown/pinkish vine, as opposed to a green vine for Snatchers.
 * Man Eaters have a chance to drop Vines, where as Snatchers don't.
 * Man Eaters spawn in the Underground Jungle biome, as opposed to the Jungle biome. The depth at which Snatchers are replaced with Man Eaters is further below ground than a mere zero depth (as shown by the Depth Meter), and can start at between 700 to 1,000 feet below ground level, depending on the world size. This is important to keep in mind when planting Jungle Grass Seeds for farming Vines.
 * Man Eaters can spawn as deep as the top layer of The Underworld, giving some the nickname Hell Eaters.
