Bloatfly (Fallout: New Vegas)

A bloatfly is a mutated insect in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.

Behavior
Unlike their predecessors in Fallout 3; Bloatflies have become largely docile and territorial. They travel in hives of between four to five. Being weak by nature; their attacks have little effect. The main attack consists of lobbing projectiles of maggots or sputum at the player that can latch on and attempt to burrow under the skin to maturity.

Statistics
Being one of the weakest enemies in Fallout: New Vegas; they are relatively easy to kill in close quarters combat, as it takes few rounds to kill one. However, it can be a bit tricky to hit them from a distance without the assistance of VATS, as they tend to move rapidly in sporadic patterns. Their corpses will generally contain Bloatfly meat which can be used to make Bloatfly slider;a relatively useful consumable.

Appearances
Their natural habitat is generally the various tar pits throughout the wasteland.
