The Bulbous Lightbug is a passive Mob exclusive to Don't Starve Together. It spawns from a special variant of Light Flowers found in the Lunar Grotto biome.
Bulbous Lightbugs emit light with a small radius. They follow players that have other Bulbous Lightbugs in their inventory. Up to 3 Bulbous Lightbugs can follow the same player. They stop following if they are attacked or if the player drops all the Bulbous Lightbugs in their Inventory.
If a Bulbous Lightbug dies or is too far away from its spawn point, the corresponding Light Flower takes 12 days to respawn another one.
Bulbous Lightbug Item[]
The Bulbous Lightbug can be caught with a Bug Net. It starves in 2 days unless fed with Vegetables or Light Bulbs.
Dropping a captured Lightbug will free it.
Tips[]
Tips- Bulbous Lightbugs can be brought to the surface via the Inventory. Once released, they will hover around a specific area indefinitely, providing an infinite light source as long as they are not killed.
- Bulbous Lightbugs can make excellent pets: they provide infinite light as stated, can be kept in the inventory, circle around the player, and don't need to be fed, unlike the Mothling.
Trivia[]
Trivia- The Bulbous Lightbug was introduced in the Forgotten Knowledge update.
Bugs[]
Bugs- The player can combine stacks of Bulbous Lightbugs outside of their inventory, as if the free Bulbous Lightbug were a dropped item on the ground.
