Flesh Maggots

Flesh maggot development. Description: Found in soil where the Flesh Oxen have been. Adults burrow underground, bury dead or sleeping animals and lay eggs in their flesh. Maggots eat the flesh, then emerge onto vegetation and enter a chrysalis phase. Flesh oxen eat the vegetation and the chrysalis passes through the gut until it is deposited in another area and an adult emerges. Then the process begins again. Segmented and maggot-like. Around 5cm long, and 2cm thick. Luminescent greenish-white colour, segmented eyes and  vicious hinged mandibles. Curls into defensive ball when threatened. Has hundreds of tiny writhing legs.
