Mama Maggot

Mama Maggot is the mini-boss of The Boneyard and can also appear in The Home. A support-oriented threat, she deals no damage herself — instead she endlessly spawns and evolves Maggots into increasingly powerful variants, turning the battlefield into an overwhelming swarm if given time. With 125 HP and Movement 3, she hangs back and prioritizes evolving existing Maggots before broadening her assault.

Her MutateAOE ability (Mutate) upgrades reachable Maggots into stronger variants on her first two turns. RallyMaggots then grants bonus turns to all enemies except herself, accelerating the swarm's action rate dramatically. Taking non-melee hits or attacks from the front spawns additional Maggots as a reactive defense. If Charmed, she still spawns Maggots — but they become hostile to all units, potentially turning the swarm against itself.

Fast cats should chase and destroy spawned Maggots before Mama Maggot can Mutate them. Position against walls to prevent evolved Diggy Maggots from using their switching ability. Soul Reap is highly efficient for eliminating Maggots while generating mana. A Cleric with Heretic Mark can turn the entire swarm against Mama Maggot. Dealing the killing blow to Mama Maggot ends the fight immediately, making focused burst on her the cleanest resolution.
