Bugs (Feed Me)

For the enemy on this article labelled bug, please proceed to Bugs (Feed Me). Bugs are the enemies featured in the Feed Me Series. In Feed Me!, all bugs could be eaten to gain extra neck length, which is why they could be considered pickups rather than enemies.

While most bugs are harmless and used only for extending the neck length of the venus fly trap, others have attacks that can damage it. In Super Feed Me, all the bugs have been redesigned, and it does not seem that they contribute to the venus fly trap's neck growth as they did in the first game. As seen in the first trailer, however, eating bugs may result in growing an extra head.

Bees
Bees are one of the two dangerous types of bugs.

Feed Me
Bees fly randomly inside a small area. If the venus fly trap gets under them, they turn angry and drop downwards, attacking with their stinger.

Glitch

A glitch in feed me sometimes causes bees to get angry and attack even when the venus fly trap isn't nearby.

Super Feed Me
Bees appear redesigned in Super Feed Me, but despite that, they retain their behaviour for Feed Me, but with added reactions to certain things.

When the player goes underneath a bee, they will swell up and turn red, then stab down in the direction of their stinger. When they come back up, they are not angry, only being angry when stabbing down.

Bees can be stunned when a plum is thrown at one.

Skins

 * Classic skin - A few bees appear in the skin

Bugs
Bugs are a type of insects that appear in Feed Me!.

Feed Me
Bugs first and only known appearance is in Feed Me, where they appear as harmless enemies. They the move in the same way as flies, though perhaps slightly slower, and move inside a more limited area.

They usually appear in groups, and are one of the harmless bug types, and like all other bugs, give extra neck length when eaten. It is unknown whether they will reappear in Super Feed Me.

Jelly Beanstalk
The sprites of bugs were first created for the game idea Jelly Beanstalk, and were reused for Feed Me.

Butterflies
Butterflies are a type of bug in Feed Me and Super Feed Me.

Feed Me
These insects in Feed Me just fly around in the air. They move slower than bugs, making them the slowest insect in the game. Their heads are similar to the flies of Pest Control, but they have long antennaes.

Super Feed Me
Butterflies appear in the Super Feed Me update video, during the scene where a giant watermelon is dropped and the player has to dash down a corridor. It is not known if the Butterfly's behaviour will be changed at all.

Caterpillars
Caterpillars are harmless insects in Feed Me!.

Appearance
Caterpillars appear as small short worms. They have got a black head with two small black squares on top of it, and two white and black eyes. Their body is slightly segmented, red coloured and has got a few white pixels, for illumination.

Feed Me
Caterpillars first flash game appearance is in Feed Me, where they just move on the ground, able to be eaten and not serving any threat to the player.

Jelly Beanstalk
Caterpillars were first created for Jelly Beanstalk, where they retain their same appearance they had in Feed Me.

Dragonflies
Dragonflies are enemies that appear in Feed Me and Super Feed Me.

Feed Me
Dragonflies dart back and forth in midair, rarely moving up or down. They are harmless, and slightly slower than flies, making them easier to eat. Their heads are similar to that of the hoppers. They act as if the player isn't there, and will not fly away from the player when they come close.

Super Feed Me
Dragonflies will appear in Super Feed Me, as seen in an advertisement in the iPhone section of Nitrome.com. It is not known how they will act in the game.

Hoppers
Hoppers are an insect that appeared in Feed Me.

Game information
Hoppers first appeared in Feed Me. Hoppers are harmless, and simply hop around. It is not known whether they will appear in Super Feed Me.

Snails
Snails are an edible bug in Feed Me and Super Feed Me.

Appearance
Snails are small with blue shells and black bodies. In Super Feed Me, snails are much larger and have green bodies.

Feed Me
The snail in Feed Me is harmless, moving at a regular pace on the ground.

Super Feed Me
Snails retain some of their past behaviour, along with also getting completely new behaviour. Snails move a bit faster than there Feed Me incarnation, but with the speed the player can move at, the speed of snails is not a problem. The shell of a snail also becomes an interactive object in Super Feed Me. If the player bites on to an object - like a wrench - and flings it at the shell of a snail, it will knock the snail in the direction the object was thrown - causing it to look in the direction of the thrown object.

If the object makes contact with the shell, it will knock the shell off the snail. The knocked off shell now can be picked up and used by the player. When a snail has its shell on, it is impervious to damage. Also, the snail may retreat into its shell when the player approaches, where the snail is also impervious to damage. It is not known whether a snail shell can be picked up, it is probable that a snail will not be able to be picked up while in its shell as its shell will have extra weight.

It is only when a snail's shell is removed a snail can be eaten. A snail without its shell is defenseless, being easy food for the Venus Fly Trap.

Shell

The shell of a snail protects the snail from all types of damage, and can also be retreated into when the player approaches. Tossing a hard object at the shell will dislodge it from the snail's back, allowing the player to pick up the dislodged shell and use it as an object to fling. As a snail can retreat into its shell, it is not known whether a shell that contains a shell can be picked up.

Spiders
Spiders are a type of insect in Feed Me and Super Feed Me that is capable of harming the player.

Feed Me
Spiders in Feed Me move vertically on webbing extending from their abdomen. They only move vertically down when angry, anger caused by the presence of the player. When angry, the eyes of a spider turn red, and they descend down their spider web. Touching an angry spider will harm the player. Upon going as far down as possible, they slowly move back up. While moving up, they are calm.

It is during the upwards calm movement the player can devour a spider. Spiders are relatively easy to kill, the lengthy calm upwards movement adding to them being easy to eat.

Super Feed Me
Spiders in Super Feed Me appear differently coloured than in Feed Me, and also act differently. The only spider seen in the two Super Feed Me videos have been located in the sewer section of the game, and move along their gooey web. Unlike the Feed Me spiders who are seen from the front, the Super Feed Me spiders are soon from the top back. It is unknown if they can be killed.

Woodlouse
Woodlice are a type of insect in Feed Me and Super Feed Me.

Feed Me
Woodlice move around on the ground. Upon the player approaching them or the woodlouse coming in range of the player, the woodlouse will roll up into a ball and dash towards the player.

These bugs are only edible when not angry, these bugs attacking the player when angry. Despite these bugs able to roll fast and roll far, there is always ceiling for the player to grab to dodge the attack. To easily eat these bugs, the player should devour the woodlice from behind.

Super Feed Me
Woodlice also appear in Super Feed Me, as seen from the two videos released by Nitrome. They are seen only in the trailer, where they appear in the lower levels of the greenhouse, which may reflect how Woodlice tend to live in dark and damp areas in real life.

Bee creatures
Bee creatures is the unofficial name given to a bee-like creature that will appear in Super Feed Me, first seen in the beehive segment of the Super Feed Me update video.

Appearance
Bee creatures have a golden-like lower body that is semi-cylindrical shaped. At the top of the body is a black coloured half-circle that has two visible eyes and what seems to be wings or pincers. If the player attacks them, their head will pop out and their pincers/wings will pull in.

Game information
Bee creatures are seen only in the Super Feed Me update trailer, in the beehive level. These creatures have their lower body embedded into the walls of some areas, seemingly unable to move. From the video, they seem to be harmless, as the Venus Fly Trap goes as far as to bit at it.

The bee creature is named for its bee like appearance. These creatures appear yellow when calm, but when attacked, turn red. It is not known what their full behaviour is. It is not sure what these creatures are, but it is possible they are bee larvae.

Leeches
Leeches are a type of insect that debuted in Super Feed Me.

Appearance
Leeches appear worm like, with a yellowish semi-cylindrical body that has a eyeless head on the end, and at the end of a tail a pink sphere.

Game information
Leeches appear in the desert levels of Super Feed Me, being the only enemy seen in those type of levels across the two Nitrome uploaded Super Feed Me videos. Leeches can burrow in the ground or move along the surface. When inside the ground, spending too much time on the surface of the ground will cause a leech to dash up, grab the player's pot, and pull them underneath into the sand, possibly causing a game over.

While on the surface, it is not known how the leech will act at the sight of the player. At the end of the "tail" of each leech is a black sphere, which the player can bite on to. The presence of the ball at the end of the leech is not for attacking purposes, but so that the player can reach higher up areas.

The ability to grab the ball allows the player to hang on to the end of a leech, and be dragged where it goes. The player could also grab the end of a leech that is located on a higher up platforms, thus allowing them to grab something else located that higher up. It is not known if the player will have any effect on the movement of leeches by grabbing on to their tail, or whether the player will be able to fling leeches around while holding on to their tail.

It it not fully known the entire behaviour of leeches, as not much has been revealed about them.

Puss moth
The puss moth is a potential boss or mid-boss in Super Feed Me, fought in the sewer section of the game.

Appearance
The puss moth appears as two connected very furry circles, the lower area where the two circles are connected having three small legs. The upper area where the circles are connected holds the two wings of the moth. The wings appear as an upside-down triangle attached to a rectangle, this rectangle having its left and right ends being half-circles.

The second circle of the puss moth is the head of the moth, with part of the middle of the circle being open, this opening leading to the right and being bumpy. Above the mouth is a pill shaped mouth, this pill appearing as a fat but short rectangle with its left and right ends being half circles.

Game information
The puss moth is the largest bug in the Feed Me series since the release of the second Super Feed Me video. The puss moth is possibly a boss, as seen in the two videos where it is in a room with it being the only visible insect. The puss moth flaps its wings to stay in the air, despite its rather leisurely flapping.

The puss moth's entire behaviour is not entirely known, what is known being is that it is weak to light (as in both Super Feed Me videos, the Venus Fly Trap is lunging towards a lever which when pushed, brings light into the room) and it attacks by vomiting out a purple liquid.

It is not known whether it will be a mid boss, a boss, or just an powerful enemy.

Trivia

 * The spiders compared between Super Feed Me and Feed Me are quite different.
