The Snatcher is a plant monster that appears in the Jungle. Its appearance is very similar to the Underground Jungle's Man Eater, and its AI is identical.

The Snatcher is rooted to the ground, but resides in the background, similar to Worms. It is therefore able to move through walls, and is immune to knockback. Players should be cautious in the Jungle, as a hidden Snatcher can catch them by surprise. While they are weaker than Man Eaters, they still hit quite hard and should not be underestimated. Caution should be advised even when the player seems to be out of the Snatcher's reach, as they can extend their stems and thus improve their reach rapidly.

Differences from Man Eaters

• Snatchers can be distinguished from Man Eaters by their body color, which is a green vine, as opposed to a pink vine for Man Eaters.
• Snatchers do not drop Vines.
• Snatchers spawn in ordinary Jungle biomes as opposed to Underground Jungle biomes. The depth at which Snatchers are replaced with Man Eaters is further below ground than a mere zero depth (as shown by the Depth Meter), and can start spawning between 700 to 1,000 feet below ground level, depending on the world size.

Other notes

• Snatchers are immune to the Poisoned debuff.
• If you destroy the block where the Snatcher is attached, the Snatcher will die but not drop any loot.

Dragon Snatchers
