Note:Little Eater no longer spawns in Terraria, please see Eater of Souls for the variant which replaced this monster.
The Little Eater was a flying enemy found in the Corruption. It was a variation of the original Eater of Souls. It was the smallest member of the Eater Family. It had the same attack pattern and behavior of its larger cousins, and also drops the same material, but only had 34 Health and 6 Defense. It was more likely to spawn above ground in the Corruption.
