Grub are a small, unassuming enemy found in the Sunken City.

Behavior

Grub appear out of Egg Sacs in small groups, clinging to the level's wall. They crawl around on the wall aimlessly leaving a sticky trail, until a player gets close enough below them, in which they will dive into the player, being permanently on the ground after which point.

Grub are eaten by Frogs and Fire Frogs.

If given enough time and space, a Grub will mature into a Giant Fly.

Strategy

  • Grub are an excellent source of blood for the Kapala.
  • The biggest threat that the Grub poses its the massive falter timer that it sets the player on, forcing them to cease all movement for nearly a full second after being hit. This could easily knock the player into Spikes or Regenerating Blocks.
