Drops
Maggot Zombie drops nothing in the game's drop rules.
Decaying corpses roaming misty graveyard biomes
The Maggot Zombie is a rotten undead variant that stumbles through Graveyard biomes and damp underground caverns. Shuffling forward with 45 life and 6 defense, its decomposing flesh is infested with writhing larval parasites. When it corners an explorer, its blunt strikes deal 14 base damage, matching the sluggish persistence of ordinary surface zombies.
Harvesting squirming bait from shattered undead husks
What distinguishes the Maggot Zombie is its post-mortem release of living Maggots. Upon taking fatal damage, its torso ruptures, scattering multiple Maggot critters across the ground. Players can catch these squirming grubs with a Bug Net, securing high-quality fishing bait boasting 17% fishing power. In Master mode, its health reaches 135 life and its swings deal 42 damage, making Graveyards productive bait-farming locations.
Trivia
- Defeating a Maggot Zombie releases several living Maggot critters that can be caught for fishing bait.
- They spawn in foggy Graveyard mini-biomes and moist subterranean stone layers.
