'''Mutant Fireflies''', sometimes referred to as '''Mutant''' '''Swamp Flies''',<ref>Ratchet says this during a game of [[Galactic Chess]].</ref> were a cross between a firefly and a beetle that had a faint gold glow. They were the only enemies on planet [[Oozla]] that did not live in the slimy water, but flew around small areas, usually in groups. The insects were often preyed upon by the flesh-eating [[Fly Trap]] plants found throughout planet Oozla. They attacked by flying up to [[Ratchet]] and pinching him with their pincers. They were easily killed by one strike from a [[Wrench]]. Also, while in large groups, Ratchet could slaughter all of them with the [[Gravity Bomb]], or [[Mini-Nuke]], with one shot. The [[Lancer]] would also take care of them easily. They would mostly only be considered a threat if they attacked in large groups; however, they were very slow. They also looked very similar to the desert dwelling [[Mutant Sandfly|Mutant Sandflies]] of [[Tabora]]; however, the Mutant Sandflies did not give off a glow, were far times faster than Mutant Fireflies, and often attacked in swarms of 10 or more.

Mutant fireflies,[1] also known as mutant swamp flies,[2] are enemies in Going Commando. They are small, yellow, glowing mutant fireflies native to Oozla, found in the Megacorp Outlet area, that are a cross between a firefly and a beetle.[1] Ratchet encountered them during "Find the store entrance", "Investigate the Megacorp store" (in which they had infested the outlet itself), and "Explore the swamp ruins". They were often found alongside the mutant muckdweller and mutant swamp beasts.

Mutant fireflies are found in groups, and will circle an area before being approached. Once struck down, their yellow glow will end as they fall. Mutant fireflies pose little threat, as they are slow, and can be defeated easily with a hit from any weapon.

Mutant fireflies cameo briefly in Up Your Arsenal as pieces in chess. The blargian snagglebeast has an allergic reaction to them which lasts two turns.[2]
