Man Eater

The Man Eater is an enemy found only in the Underground Jungle biome, and is nearly identical in appearance and behavior to the above-ground Snatcher. Man Eaters spawn anchored to blocks, with an extendable stem topped by a pincher. The stem itself is a passive component and can be walked through safely without incurring damage; only the pincher inflicts or takes damage.

Differences from Snatchers

 * The Man Eater's body color is a brown/pinkish vine, as opposed to the green vine of the Snatcher's. The "head" of a Man Eater also has a red tinge along the jaw.
 * Man Eaters drop Vines and Ancient Cobalt armor, whereas Snatchers do not.
 * Man Eaters can extend their stems about twice as far as Snatchers.
 * Snatchers spawn in surface Jungle biomes as opposed to Underground Jungle biomes. Man Eaters begin spawning between 700 to 1,000 feet below 0 depth, depending on the world size.

Tips

 * When lit on fire with weapons such as the Sunfury, their erratic movement patterns may cause them to reveal hidden caves with their light.
 * Caution should be advised even when the player seems to be out of the Man Eater's reach, as they can extend their stems and thus improve their reach rapidly.
 * Mining the block that a Man Eater is rooted on kills it instantly; however, this method of dispatching a Man Eater never yields any dropped items.

Trivia

 * Man Eater and Snatchers are remotely reminiscent of Plantera's Hooks.
 * Despite their vine color being more brown than green, Man Eaters drop green vines.
 * The name "Man Eater" may be a possible reference to the 1982 song "Maneater" by pop duo Daryl Hall and John Oates. This is questionable, however, as the term "Man Eater" is commonly used to describe any animal that may kill and eat a human.
