Vulture Grub

Vulture Grubs are small sluglike creatures. Dead ones are distinguished by their darker coloring, and can be eaten for 1 point of food. Live Vulture Grubs cannot be eaten unless killed. If a live vulture grub is thrown, when it lands it will point upwards and emit a red beacon of light into the sky. The beam will flash red if the summoning of a Vulture failed (usually in rooms where they don't appear), and turn green when successful. They can be killed with Spears.

When they die they darken in color, and dead slugs may be found near live ones. They respawn in about 4 to 5 cycles.

Trivia
