Maggots are critters that replace Worms in the Graveyard mini-biome and fall off of Maggot Zombies when hit. The Maggot has only 5 health and no defense, and can be damaged by other enemies and players.

The Maggot can be caught with any Bug Net to be carried around in the inventory and released later, or crafted into animated decorative furniture (Maggot Cage). Once crafted, the Maggot cannot be released again, unless the furniture item is de-crafted via Shimmer(Desktop, Console and Mobile versions).

The Maggot can be used as bait for fishing, with 22% bait power.
