The Corruptor is a Hardmode enemy that spawns within The Corruption. It is a larger version of the Eater of Souls, with an added projectile attack (Vile Spit) that inflicts the Weak debuff on players.

Notes

• Vile Spit projectiles are similar to Burning Spheres, Chaos Balls, and Water Spheres in that they are destroyed with any weapon in a single hit. However, unlike the others, Vile Spit cannot pass through blocks.

Tips

• Corruptors can be fairly powerful when just starting Hardmode, so they should not be underestimated.

Trivia

• It leaves behind an afterimage as it moves, much like a set of Necro armor.
• Despite its name, the Corruptor is not able to spread Corruption.
• Despite its name, the melee weapon Scourge of the Corruptor is not dropped by the Corruptor.
