The Devourer is a piglin boss and secondary antagonist in Minecraft Legends. They are one of the generals of The Great Hog, being the leader of the Horde of the Spore.

Lore

Spoiler warning! This section contains detailed information about Minecraft Legends that may spoil your enjoyment of it. Read at your own risk!

Before the events of the game, The Great Hog summoned all their horde generals to their planning map table where the Devourer watches as the Beast raises their arm up to give them a Horde of the Hunt banner then the Great Hog takes it and smashes it to a place in the map. The Beast nods in agreement and sends piglins towards the portal, and the Great Hog then laughs menacingly.

After the Hero defeats multiple Piglin Outposts, back in the Nether the Devourer and the Unbreakable watch the Great Hog choke the Beast; then they throw the Beast towards a wall. The Great Hog afterwards calls upon the Seer and the Great Hog points towards a place in the map, the Seer then asks four piglins to bring them a beacon. After the piglins bring the beacon to the Seer, they corrupt it with the Orb of Dominance. The Seer tells the three piglins to place the corrupted beacon on top of the nether portal within the Night Beacon. After the Hero destroys the night beacon, a piglin comes through the nether portal and rushes towards the Great Hog and their generals to tell them the night beacon was destroyed. After hearing it was destroyed the Great Hog gets angry and with their generals proceeds to catch the piglin and presumably kill it. The Devourer and the other generals return to their respective horde bases.

During the war the Hero successfully destroys a piglin base with a nether portal in it. We then cut back to the Nether where we see the Devourer in a soup bath eating spores, Overworld food and animals, a piglin approaches the Devourer to tell them that the Hero successfully destroyed a portal but they are too busy eating. A piglin with a purple flower approaches them and they eat the flower along with the piglin carrying it. The Devourer spits out a spore and the piglin from the destroyed Nether portal catches and admires it. Then a group of piglins pile on the piglin trying to steal it. We then cut back to the Devourer eating and laughing.

Once again the Hero successfully destroys a piglin outpost with a nether portal in it and a piglin approaches the Devourer, who is still eating in the soup bath. The piglin gets the attention of the Devourer and they roar at them. The piglin tells the Devourer what has happened and the Devourer calls upon three Sporebacks and the Devourer tells one Sporeback to pluck an explosive mushroom from its back and throw it, causing piglins near the mushroom to be flung into the air. The Devourer then tells the same Sporeback to give them one explosive mushroom, the Devourer proceeds to eat this mushroom causing them to be flung into the air a bit and smoke to come out of their mouth and nose. The Devourer then tells the three Sporebacks to go to the Overworld.

The Devourer rose from their soup bath and jumped towards a clear field where a group of piglins are and they rallied those piglins and the piglins cheered on. Meanwhile in the Overworld the Hero successfully destroyed the Horde of the Spore's final piglin outpost with the nether portal and an injured piglin went back into the nether with bandages and tried to get the Devourer's attention to tell them that the last nether portal had been destroyed, but the piglin was not successful as the Devourer was still rallying their troops. After the Devourer rallied their piglins they puked on them. Afterwards they charged into the portal the injured piglin was near, entering into it, though one of the Devourer's pink spores fell onto the injured piglin's back, causing the piglin to try to eat it. The Devourer then comes through the portal and into the Overworld though they struggled to get out of the portal for a bit. Once the Devourer was out of the portal they noticed one of their pink spores are missing so they grew it back. The Hero travels to the piglin outpost to defeat the Devourer, after a ferocious and long battle the Hero weakened the Devourer. They start puking everywhere, before all of the spores on their back combust and explode. They then fall over backwards and let out one final burp. The base's portal self-destructs shortly afterward.

Appearance

The Devourer is a massive piglin standing in a simian position when idle, with silk-colored skin that is covered in sores, the sores extending to the napa-colored bandages winding around their arms and legs. Their ears and snout, however, are pale pink. They wear a berry-colored skirt with cyan fluid, presumably warped water, overflowing from it and glowing with an aura of light at night. They have a pair of short tusks, as well as white eyes that turn red at night. Warped roots grow on their head and shoulders, while mulberry-purple spore blocks of various sizes grow on their back.

Spawning

Once all of the Horde of the Spore's bases have been destroyed, a final base will appear, with The Devourer inside.

The Devourer appears on a platfrom about a third of the way to the portal. At approximately 70% and 30% HP, the Devourer will use Rocket Pustle to retreat to a platform about 67% of the way up and at the portal, respectively.

Drops

Once The Devourer is defeated, it will always drop the following:

• 100 Gold
• 1 Piglin key

Behavior

The Devourer attacks any allied mobs they see within range. When the Devourer is not being attacked they will idle around the platform they are currently on. While using their spitting attack the Devourer's tusks will be replaced by their cheeks and their mouth becomes wider. Once their health is down to about 70% and 30% they will beat their chest and use rocket pustle to propel themself towards another platform in the base.

Stun

The Devourer being attacked by grindstone golems will stun them, so they look up into the sky and groan.

Attacks

Melee Smash

• The Devourer raises their arms before slamming them on the ground, damaging anyone close to them.

Spitting

• The Devourer stands still for a moment in preparation, and then spits a glob of goo at its target, with a range similar to a redstone launcher.

Groan

• The Devourer stands still for a bit then groans looking towards the sky then damages every mob near them, killing them instantly.

Pustule Spew

• The Devourer bends down to charge up the attack, after which the cyst on their back spews green liquid around them in a circle, damaging nearby targets.

Rocket Pustle

• The Devourer beats their chest with their arms and sits down, before one of the cysts on their back explodes and sends them flying deeper into the base. This move is only used after the Devourer is brought to 70% and 40% HP.

Vomiting

• The Devourer vomits three times in succession, damaging any close-range targets in front of them.
