Demon Eye

The Demon Eye is a flying enemy that appears at night when above ground. Its trajectory is changed when hit with a weapon that causes knockback. It has a slow turn rate, follows the player, and bounces off blocks.

Variants
There are six variants of the Demon Eye, all of which have the same drops and drop chances. There are slight differences in stats, but they are all relatively similar.

Tips

 * Demon Eyes attempt to fly straight towards the player. This allows for relatively easy escape by hiding behind a wall.
 * Due to the fact they cannot enter water, they cannot reach you if you are completely submerged. However, you can still hit them with your broadsword or any ranged weapon.
 * New players may find that spear-type weapons are quite effective against these.
 * It is also recommended to use ranged weapons, such as the Wooden Bow, when dealing with Demon Eyes, as they spend much of their time out of reach. The best time to attack it is when it is turning, as a successful hit will knock it back and interrupt its flight pattern, allowing you to get in more shots before it reaches you.

Trivia

 * The Eye of Cthulhu, Servant of Cthulhu and Wandering Eye are modeled after this creature.
