Bug

A purple beetle with 6 health (3 hearts) that hits for 2. It leaps at players and melee-attacks. When one Bug is hurt, the others nearby join in.

Where it spawns

Like other monsters: in the dark, on the surface at night or in caves, never in Peaceful. It is the most common mob of the mod (weight 40, groups of 3 to 5) and spawns in forests, taigas, jungles, savannas, badlands, hills, plains, sunflower plains, meadows, swamps, deserts and snowy plains.

Drops

0 to 2 Glitch Shards, one more per level of Looting. Fox, Bunny and Bear Ears need one shard each.

Fighting it

Bugs care about your Drip more than any other mob. At tier 5 they deal 40 % of their normal damage. Wearing Programming Socks makes your hits on a Bug 50 % stronger.

A Debug Flytrap eats Bugs that come close, as well as silverfish and endermites. Watching it happen gives the advancement "Bug Fixed". A Bug with a name tag is spared.

Since 0.2.0 Bugs have their own sounds: a chitter, an error beep when hit and a crash sound when they die.
