Eater of Souls

The Eater of Souls is the most common enemy encountered in The Corruption. It is very similar to the Demon Eye, but it will spawn regardless of the time of day. Compared with the Demon Eye it is bigger and has more defense, but does less damage and has less health. It also has another flying pattern - it can fly directly toward the player as opposed to Demon Eye's slow arcing. They follow Flying AI, with the exception of the non-arc flying pattern, and an override function that yields to the Devourer. This mob has a high potential to knock you down into the chasms it's found near. It's suggested when traveling through the corruption you have equipped a Cobalt Shield.

Sometimes the Eater of Souls could spawn with the tail of a Devourer. It's flying pattern and physics are still the same, just with an extended sprite. The tail is also not very smooth and is chunky. Not much is known about this figure.
