Corruptor

The Corruptor is an enemy that was introduced in the 1.1 patch. They are similar to the Eater of Souls, but are much stronger, having 230 health each. Their projectile attack will corrupt the ground it touches, so its advisable to slay any chasing you out of the corruption to avoid losing any Hallow you have in place to contain the corruption. As with Fire Imps and Dark Caster, the Vile Spit projectile they fire is an enemy with one health, meaning you can destroy it with any kind of weapon. This also means that by effect it will sometimes block shots from non-piercing projectile weapons. At night the corruptor will rarely drop 0-3 soul of night.
