Maggot

Found in every area where mountains of corpses are present, these bloated pests are the larval stage of the common housefly. However, the reason as to why they have grown to enormous size and not yet pupate into flies is currently unknown. It is possible that the corruption that plagues the estate prevents them from maturing any further or by feeding on the corpses used by the Ancestor’s experiments in necromancy may have caused changes within them. Trapped in their larvae forms these carriers of filth and disease have only one instinct; to eat decaying flesh. And should there are not any corpses nearby, they are more than willing make their own.

Behavior
Maggots first appear to be small inconsequential blockages to any adventuring group of heroes, as evident by their minor health pool and lack of protection. However their only ability, Grave Nibble, is a great nuisance as it inflicts stress damage, has a chance to Stun, a reasonable chance to Crit, and, worst of all, can inflict a Disease. They are usually found either in a group of four or paired with Spitters or even a Ghoul on higher difficulties. Dispatching these enemies, while not very difficult, should be among your first priorities in battle, lest they begin building up stress and nullifying your heroes turns.
