Talk:Devourer

Burrowing Enemy or Corrupted Enemy? AI determines the way they fight, not the family. I can't decide myself though. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Bobb1118 (talk). '
 * Corrupt is a biome, when did we start using families? --Thanatos 21:19, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

spawn bug in 1.0.4?
I just encountered several of these in an area with no corruption at all, only corruption is on the opposite side of the map. Im thinking its related to it being an old map.

Possible to farm these?
I noticed on the page for Ebonstone, it claims these spawn where-ever ebonstone is present. Is this correct? If so, I've made a large square of 50 stones, and they don't seem to appear. Anyone know if I need more, or do they just not work like that? any ideas? -- Leftie

Spawning every night in home when using speed glitch
Using speed glitch under my house (which has lava pits on both sides), multiple devourers attack in less than one day without fail. House is not anywhere near corruption, and I actually haven't even approached any corruption yet in this world, which I just created last night. This doesnt happen in my other worlds, all of which were created pre- 1.0.4. Googling "devourer+speed glitch" shows me that a few people have experienced exactly the same thing recently...but also lots of people using glitch, yet not experiencing it. Im starting to think its an anti-exploit the devs put in with the last patch, possibly that one that only works on new worlds. Has anyone else had this happen? MayaMayhem 22:33, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
 * After researching a bit more, I found something worth noting. While nowhere near any corruption, I *do* have about 15-20 ebonstone blocks, brought in from another world, used in constructing the very bottom of my home. Gonna try removing them and see if that stops them from spawning... MayaMayhem 23:03, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

devourer AI outside the corruption?
a devourerer spawned OUTSIDE the corruption, i had 3 layers of a sky bridge, 1st layer: acess to upper sky bridge. (uncorrupted) layer2: demonite, gold, silver. the main skybridge, even has meteorite as a light source, albiet rareley. 3rd layer: town of corruption / corrupted grass sky bridge, as soon as i left the sky bridge and went to layer 2, i saw a very very small model of an devourer run away, i only got a short glimpse of his backside before the lucky one scurried off, i attempted to shot with a silver bullet but then he was long long gone, is this just plain lucky, or unlucky? and has the AI ever really changed?
