Maggot

Found in almost every zone where bodies pile high, these bloated pests are the larval stage of common housefly, but how or why they have grown to enormous size and not yet pupate into flies is not known. Maybe corruption that plagues the estate prevents them from maturing any further or by feeding on the corpses used by the Ancestor’s experiments with necromancy may have caused changes within them. Trapped in their larvae forms these carrier of filth and disease to one instinct; to eat and if there are not any flesh corpses nearby, they will make their own.

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