If there is a such thing as a do-gooder, then ShooFlies must be the epitomal do-badders. Whenever something goes wrong, there's a ShooFly. They are too ubiquitous to be exterminated, and show up at any opportunity (even in the midst of a Seelie kingdom). They are the lowest minions of the Unseelie, but the association would make a Damethear shudder. ShooFlies have a seekersense for both anything rotten and anything sweet. They react to sugar like most Unseelie react to blood. They covet sugar and will use any means to obtain it. On the other hand, carrion, for ShooFlies, is the odor of romance, for it is in rotting meat that they lay their eggs. ShooFlies are hermaphroditic, so after their lurid dance, both parters will deposit eggs in the rotting meat. Eggs from a ShooFlie mature REMARKABLE quickly. One week following birth, that havve to five inches and pupate, which lasts two more days, them bam! another ShooFly. ShooFlies have form of race memory. Though distorted, personal injuries and spurned loves with reain. The little flies also retain a small portion of their parent's memories.
ShooFlies are about 8.5" tall, thick bodies with lots of body hair and pot bellies. They have antennae and compound eyes.
Only ShooFlies care abouth their names. The basic sounds are a, ah, uh, oo, ae, ai , oh an ye. The only consonants are Z, z and ', which presents a stop: Good ShooFly names include Oozzz'aah'za, ZZoo'ai.
Even is rotting mater is completely sealed, it will spontaneous generate ShooFlies, as had been observed in many cases.
ShooFlies do not limit their amor to members of their own race. Quite often they will be smitted by a SpriteLass or Dryad or a Nymph. Even killing the suitor may help: He/She may have multitudes of offspring with the same interest. There have been a few ShooFly hybrids, but that is too much for this page.
Drunkards
Drunkards are less irritating be perhaps even more commom that ShooFlies. Fortunately, they are attached on to the smell of rotting fruit and alcoholic beverages. They will beg, wheedle, swarm or whatever to get the object of their desire. Once obtained, they immediatly drink themselves into stupor. Many have summoned and "controlled " "armies" of Drunkards using a simple still.
Drunkards have a remarkable seekersence that allows they to retect overripe
food and fruit from miles away.
Drunkards are sexless, but anypile of rotting fruit or vegatable
matter will generate several dozen of them. Drunkards are slimmish, with
tan bodies and cherry red compound eyes. They are mostly harmless.
BlowFlies
BlowFlies are the kings of the Flies. When a maggot is oversupplied
with food, he may spend two weeks maturing, for and stay in th pupal stage
for two weeks. What emerging is the questionably superior BlowFlow. They
hatch out at about nine to ten inches. They skin at birth is metallic blue,
which change to teal then to metallic green as they grown older. ShooFlies
are compled to follow the oders of BlowFlies, which means any worth while
BlowFlies will have a cadre of ShooFlies. ShooFlies are also hermaphrodites,
and can lay eggs in carrion that will ALWAYS hatch into more Blowflies.
Blowflies, while immune to the carving of sweets and rotten fruit, have
a similar seeker sense that draws them to warm blooded animals. They will
their innate Knacks, including Invisibility,
Topical Anaesthetic, Etc to keep the victim unaware until it have been
drained. THEN it hurts like bitch. Blowflies have resently come into
the employe of Thuksala
ZombiMaster, who have taught them to drain lymph, bile, etc instead
of blood.
