Mosquitoes are an enemy in Spelunky 2.
Mosquitoes primarily spawn in Jungle, but can also be summoned by Tiamat.
Behavior[]
Mosquitoes wander around by flying across the level, flying in random cardinal direction at regular intervals. They make a loud buzzing sound everywhere they go.
If the spelunker gets within a Mosquito's line of sight, it begins buzzing with a higher pitch as it shoots forwards in a straight line. They will continue charging in this manner until they are killed or hit a wall, in which case they become stuck for 6 seconds.
The flash of a Camera kills Mosquitoes instantly, and Wooden Shields are capable of crushing Mosquitoes and Mosquitoes alone against a wall, killing them.
Mosquitoes drop twice as much blood as standard enemies, being four drops instead of two. This makes them useful for filling the Kapala.
Mosquitoes also have a 1/1000 chance of dropping a Hoverpack.
