The World Feeder is a Hardmode worm-like enemy which spawns in The Corruption. It is somewhat rare and is not as common as the pre-Hardmode Devourers. Loot is dropped from the head segment, so it can get stuck buried deep in blocks if one of the main body parts is killed first.

Notes[]

  • The World Feeder has 21–26 body segments.[1]
  • Despite dropping Cursed Flames, it neither inflicts nor is immune to the Cursed Inferno debuff.
  • To spawn, the World Feeder only requires the player be considered to be in a Corruption Biome. Spawn surfaces do not have to be Corruption Biome blocks.

Tips[]

  • As with all worms, debuffs and piercing or area-of-effect damage are very effective, as the enemy consists of numerous vulnerable targets.

Trivia[]

  • The World Feeder bears a certain visual resemblance to the Eater of Worlds, similar to the Wandering Eye's visual similarities to the Eye of Cthulhu.
  • The internal name of the World Feeder is Seeker.
  • Its name is opposite to that of the Eater of Worlds.

The BestiaryBestiary entry for the World Feeder: "Ancient magicks have unleashed the dark influences that gave birth to the Eater of Worlds, producing smaller, but just as deadly worms."

  • This is probably why it bears such a resemblance to the Eater of Worlds.
