Blind Pest

The  is a monster added in the Survivors of the Void update.

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. Pests can not fall in general, unless they are frozen, as they will immediately take flight.

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', and their stats scale much faster.

Trivia

 * The Blind Pest has a fully functional walking animation, though they generally don't use it. Unlike the, they do not fall to the ground upon being stunned.
 * However, freezing a Blind Pest will cause it to fall to the ground and walk around very slowly. After a period of time it will jump and continue to fly again.
 * The Blind Pest's attack does not count as a combat skill, and will not cancel the buff granted by . This may be a bug.
