Mr. Maw is a monster that can commonly be found in The Depths. It is a Maw attached to a Pacer.

BehaviorEdit

Mr. Maw walks towards the player in manner similar to Gapers or Globins. When he gets close to Isaac, he launches his head (Still attached by a cord) away from his body.

If the head is destroyed first, Mr. Maw becomes a Pacer; if the body is killed first, he becomes a Maw. It also seems to be possible to shoot a Mr. Maw in the neck while its head is extended to split it into both a Pacer and a Maw. Note that sometimes, you don't even need to shoot him in the neck; he'll separate into a Pacer and a Maw on his own, though this may be more likely if his head hits an obstacle.

BugsEdit

• Rarely, Mr. Maw can spawn with a Guardian Fly. The fly seems to follow the head, and will only turn into an Attack Fly when the head is killed. This glitch occurs if a Psychic Maw attempts to spawn as the head of a Mr. Maw.

• Sometimes a graphical glitch can occur where Mr. Maw's head, when launched at the player, will have the sprite and behavior of the body. (Pictured above) This is extremely common when using the item Mom's Contacts.

• In addition, there is a rare graphical glitch where the head or body can become invisible to the player after a "normal" seperation. If this occurs, the best way of defeating the remaning half is to aim your shots at the blood trail it leaves behind, if the body is left, or to fire back at where the shots originate from, if the head remains. 
• Another glitch that can happen is when Mr. Maw launches his head at you it'll go farther than possible, after a while it'll retract back but instead of re-attaching it'll start going back out again. After a while it'll glitch out, with it's head flashing between two corners of a room (Picture above). If the body is killed the head will be stuck in a wall making it impossible to leave the room without a teleport.

TriviaEdit

• If you are killed by the head of Mr. Maw, the picture on Isaac's Last Will will be that of a Host.
