Mosquitoes are an enemy in Spelunky 2.
Mosquitoes primarily spawn in Jungle, but can also be summoned by Tiamat.
Behavior[]
If the spelunker gets within a Mosquito's line of sight, it shoots forward in a straight line. Once they hit a wall, they get stuck in it for 6 seconds. Otherwise, they hover around, traveling in random cardinal directions.
Cameras kill Mosquitoes instantly, and they're the only entity in the game that can be crushed by a Wooden Shield without it breaking.
Mosquitoes drop twice as much blood as standard enemies, being four drops instead of two. This makes them useful for filling the Kapala.
They also have a 1/1000 chance of dropping a Hoverpack.
