- A tiny larva which is prized for its milk.
Purring maggots are a type of cavern-living vermin notable for being the only underground source of milk, known as dwarven milk. They can be obtained by trapping them with animal traps. They are hateable vermin and will inspire an unhappy thought in dwarves that detest them.
To obtain these maggots you will need to discover the 2nd or 3rd cavern layer, then construct (b-m) animal traps on cave moss there. Use q to set meat/fish for bait. A higher quality trap will increase the chances of catching a purring maggot instead of losing the bait.
Some dwarves like purring maggots for their comforting whirs.
Sound cuter than they look.
