Egg Burdened

Egg_Carrier_01.jpg Burdened
These Creatures are usually passive and appear to be crawling bodies with parasitic eggs attached to their backs. Killing them releases five Vile Maggot's that are hostile and can cause poison.

Strategy

 * The best strategy for these creatures is to just avoid them as they are usually peaceful and killing only results in gaining a minor amount of souls and gives the added disadvantage of releasing Vile Maggots which are just annoying and can poison you.

Drops

 * The only real reason for killing this creature is that fact that it drops the item Egg Vermifuge which cures the Egghead you can contract by either betraying the Witch Covenant or the parasites that are spawned from killing an Egg Burdened.
