Devourer

Devourers are large Worms that spawn in The Corruption, though they are uncommon compared to the abundant Eater of Souls. Like other Worms, including the Eater of Worlds and The Destroyer, they attack by burrowing through tiles to reach the player.

Segments
Devourers consist of 10-14 segments in total.

Tips

 * Obtaining the Ball O' Hurt is a good option for players who have trouble with killing Devourers.
 * The easiest way to kill a Devourer for very new players is to dodge and use Wooden Boomerang or any other ranged/Flail type weapon.
 * Spears also tend to rid a player of worm type enemies very easily.
 * 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.
