The Large Toxic Fly is the result of a Toxic Fly living and growing for decades. Bearing the same appearance of a green body with glowing iridescent blue eyes, with the only difference being a massive bloated body. The Large Toxic Fly has control of other younger and smaller Toxic Flies and uses them the attack.
No longer easy to destroy, the Large Toxic fly can be quite troublesome with its constant spawning of drones, and overall high damage. It spawns 5 little flies at a time. Most of the time, the large fly will hover in midair to spawn and "watch" its smaller flies swarm you, but dont underestimate the bigger fly. When it does decide to touch you, it will deal significant damage.
Size of the fly compared to the player.
.Large Toxic Fly is a unique monster found on any kind of irradiated planets, and is capturable.
Luna's Lab Notes[]
~ Any toxic flies left after you defeat the leader will behave the same, but will wander around aimlessly and sometimes even stop to land when you're unnoticed. These little flies are also capturable, however they do minimal damage and so they serve better as cosmetic pets than ones of functionality.
~ The leader also makes a pretty great battle pet because with the minions, you're basically having 6+ insects watching your back. With the minions darting movements, they can serve as useful body shields against ranged attacks.
~ This creature has two sprite sheets that it pulls from - it's body and wing movement, and then a second sheet for it's head movements and sucking effects. How these two sprite sheets are brought together and used in tandem I am not sure. I want to learn though!
