Giant Fly (BB)

Creature 1 — animal

Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.

This massive fly's twitching limbs seem to never stop moving as it constantly cleans itself and scoops anything edible into its mouth parts. While primarily carrion eaters, giant flies sometimes prey on livestock or other animals too slow to get away. Left to their own devices, these flies will lay dozens of eggs within the mostly-eaten carcasses. These eggs soon hatch into enormous maggots that begin the cycle of scavenging anew.
