Blind Pest

The  is a flying monster added in the Survivors of the Void expansion.

Skills & Behavior
Blind Pests spawn by swooping down from above, and flap through the air haphazardly. They will strafe around while waiting for their Spit to recharge if they are within 50m of their target.

Primary: Spit
The Blind Pest spits a fast-moving glob of acid, dealing 200% damage. They will attack if the target is within 70m.

This skill has a cooldown of 1 second, but the duration of the attack is about 2 seconds.

Tips

 * Although they have low health and their attacks are easily avoided by constantly moving, Blind Pests can be surprisingly dangerous. They become more difficult to dodge in groups or when other enemies are present, and they generally keep a fair distance from the player, so it may be hard to kill them reliably.
 * Blind Pests behave similarly to, but are considerably more dangerous. Pests' sound cues when attacking are less obvious than Wisps', their stats scale much faster, and they fly much further out of reach.

Trivia

 * The Blind Pest has a functional walking animation, which it rarely uses. Unlike, Blind Pests do not fall to the ground when stunned. They can, however, be grounded by freezing them using , , or , or when pulled to the ground by.
 * If a target stands still for a period of time, the Blind Pest will gradually approach until it lands on top of the target. Any further attack or flight animations may give the appearance of the Pest "licking" the target, but this is not an actual programmed behavior.
 * The Blind Pest's attack does not count as a combat skill, so it will not cancel the buff granted by . This may be a bug.
