        It’s too bad they didn’t make the Moonlight Butterflies in the Crystal Caves hostile. Imagine the player tears after having to navigate narrow invisible walkways while dodging laser spam.

      They eat nonstop and get fat as caterpillars, then spend most of their energy metamorphosing, and then the rest is for fucking and sucking

      Lots of metamorphic bugs do this. Even the ones that eat as adults often die that same year, after 3-20 years as a larva.
