Botfly Larva

The Botfly Larva is a parasite trinket that implants under the skin and slowly develops. It carries a SPD -1 and CHA -1 penalty, reflecting the host's growing discomfort. Its passive, SpawnThingOnDeath, causes the larva to burst free upon the wearer's death, spawning a creature into the battle — a parting gift that may disrupt enemies or create unexpected opportunities.

SpawnThingOnDeath creates a new entity on the battlefield when the host dies — the exact spawn varies but typically introduces a hostile or neutral creature that can interfere with whatever killed you. This makes the Botfly Larva a death-trigger item with a form of "last act" disruption. The spawned creature acts independently, meaning it can turn the tide or at minimum delay enemy follow-up actions against the rest of your team.

Most effective on characters who are expected to die or are used as sacrificial frontline bait. The SPD and CHA losses are minor but the death-trigger only fires once, so it rewards characters who die in tactically useful moments rather than incidentally. Combines interestingly with self-destruct or death-synergy builds, and the spawned creature can pressure enemies that might otherwise safely clean up survivors.
