Man Eater

Man Eaters are found in the Underground Jungle environment. These plants can easily kill you if caught unaware. Destroying the rock that it's rooted on kills it instantly; this, however, never yields any loot.

They have a limited range, so you can easily sit outside this and pick them off, though it seems their range extends temporarily when hit, so don't sit too close. A good tactic to kill them is to stand separated between a few blocks and use the Vilethorn on them. Their stems are intangible and won't damage nor block you, but are flexible and may lengthen unexpectedly, leading the mouth to reach you.

Sometimes, the Man Eaters will manage to go 'through' blocks. If they first pass it from the side they will then try to follow you below, and their stem might go inside the blocks, allowing it to approach you 'through' the blocks.
