Hive are enemies with a large rotting head coagulated with flies who can be found in The Caves and The Depths. They're fairly harmless but will spit out flies on occasion and release some more on death. They might be considered an evolved form of Mulligans/Mulligoons, as they behave similarly to them and they sound the same when whimpering. Hives are considered to be a weaker version of The Duke of Flies as they both spit out flies and do not directly attack the player.

BehaviorEdit

They act similar to Mulligans and Mulligoons, as they try to flee from the player. This frequently makes them run into dead ends. They may also vomit up to three flies. But do not be fooled by their passive-like behaviour, they'll only vomit flies as long as you're in their line of sight. If they die they will spawn up 5 five red flies or some big flies. Unlike Mulligans and Mulligoons, Hives do not randomly explode.

StrategyEdit

The Hive's behavior gives the player the possibility to drive the Hives into edges or dead ends. If they are driven into corners or obstacles, it becomes much easier to kill them. They tend to vomit flies as you are shooting at them, though, so be careful about that. They also have a tendancy to spawn Red Flies and Pooters on death.

It is not reccommended to charge tears if one has the Chocolate Milk. Charge shots will likely hit any flies a Hive has just vomited up as a last-ditch effort, thereby wasting the time it took to charge the shot.

Also, these enemies are apparently immune to Poison damage.
