Description[]
Giant Flies are heavily enlarged flies with big red eyes and human-like arms. They are usually found in large numbers.

Lore[]
Strategy[]
Their attacks deal physical damage, and they have a flying grab attack and a vomit attack that will infect the player with Maggots (like Corpse Grub). Therefore, while facing them it is recommended to bring Bloodred Moss Clumps or a torch.
When encountered in the rotting basement of the Ariandel Chapel, several of the Giant Flies will likely fly at the player with great speed. Evading is the best way to avoid these attacks, as the player can become overwhelmed by sheer numbers if they try to attack the flies. One should be careful not to let themselves be cornered by them, as they can completely decimate one's HP if they attack all at once.

Notes[]
- Takes twice as much damage if hit in midair.
- They are vulnerable to headshots.
- The ones in the basement are far more likely to inflict maggots than the ones found outside. The bleed they inflict is far more dangerous than the one inflicted by the maggot enemies at the Cathedral of the Deep as it not only procs much faster, it also rapidly drains health at the same time, which regular maggots do not inflict.
