40d Talk:Purring maggot

Article doesn't state where you can find Purring maggots. As far as I remember they should spawn in chasms. They also seem pretty rare. I've had at least 5 chasms and no purring maggot yet. Including stats from raws would also improve this page. --Someone-else 12:09, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

perhaps it means valleys instead of chasms(deep dip but not forever into the ground) – unsigned comment by eerr

I've noticed that not all creatures that can spawn in a particular biome necessarily do. I suspect that the temperature of the map is involved. VengefulDonut 11:07, 12 August 2008 (EDT)

what makes them milkable?

Can someone tell me if the [MILKABLE:33333] tag is what makes them milkable? Purring Maggots are the only creatures (I've found) with this tag straight out of the box. Is this, perhaps, why cow's milk (and other such) can only be bought from outprovince?

And, I have had purring maggots spawn inside my keep if it shares a wall with the chasm, even if he wall is unbroken. Cave spiders and other vermin will, too. --jaz ... on this day, at this time.

^-- is because your keep is in the chasm biome. They spawn depending on the biome not on the actual location. I don't know what game mechanic makes them the only milkable animal. I would assume that cows, goats, and camels should all be milkable eventually.GarrieIrons 23:56, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

^---Only creatures that can be held can be milked at the moment, and cows and such can't be held. Planetofthedwarves
