Overview

The Yellow Glowbug is a flying critter native to the Undergrounds, Clay Caves, and Desert of Beginnings. It emits a dim yellow light, making it one of the small natural light sources found in the subterranean regions of the world.

Like other critters, Yellow Glowbugs can be caught with a Bug Net and carried as an item. This makes them useful for players who want to relocate them, keep one as a collectible, or simply remove it from an area while mining or building. Their light is not strong enough to replace proper torches or other dedicated lighting, but it can still make them easy to spot in dark tunnels.

A Yellow Glowbug is also shown with a light radius, indicating that its glow affects the area around it while it is present. Since it is a passive critter rather than a hostile creature, it does not attack the player and can be handled safely once approached carefully enough to catch.
