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.

It is 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.

Variants
There are several 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.

Farts

 * Demon eyes sometimes spawn as either larger or smaller than normal, modifying their health (and possibly other stats) accordingly.
 * Demon Eyes appear more often during a new moon.
 * During the Halloween event, some Demon eyes will wear costumes, such as a UFO or an Owl. Weaker players should take caution, because they are more difficult than the standard varieties.

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.
 * Another way to kill them is to have a ranged weapon, and try to aim right ahead of them, so they might fly right into your projectile.
