Mutant firefly

Template:GOEnemybox Mutant Fireflies, sometimes referred to as Swamp Flies, were a cross between a firefly and a beetle that have a faint gold glow. They are the only enemies on planet Oozla that do not live in the slimey water, but fly around a small area, usually in groups. These insects are often preyed upon by the flesh-eating Fly Trap plants found throughout planet Oozla.These pests will attack by flying up to Ratchet and pinching him with their pincers. They are easily killed by one strike from a Wrench. Also, if 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 could mostly only be considered a threat if they attacked in large groups, they are however very slow. They also look very similar to the desert dwelling Mutant Sandflies of Tabora , however the Mutant Sandflies don't give off a glow, are far times faster than Mutant Fireflies, and often attack in swarms of 10 or more.
