**Compost Maggot** is an enemy (pest) in tibo.dog.

## Overview

The Compost Maggot is the tier-1 pest of [Compost Caves](/biomes/compost-caves), and the only one, so almost all of the caves' early spawns are maggots. On Normal, tier-1 pests make up 8 in 9 spawns until 4:00, become a minority from 5:00 and stop spawning at 9:00 (10:00 on Easy). As a tier-1 pest it is never an [elite](/bosses#elites).

It crawls straight at Tibo at speed 32 and hurts only on contact, for 3 base damage. It has 8 base HP and no mass, so knockback moves it the full distance. A kill gives 1 XP and a 3% chance of a coin.

It is not the same pest as the [Maggot](/enemies/maggot-swarm) that the [Compost Titan](/bosses/compost-titan) summons, which is far more dangerous: 30 HP, 10 damage and speed 50.

## Tips

- Maggots are slow and weak, so the early caves are a comfortable place to collect XP. The real step up comes when [Cave Grubs](/enemies/cave-grub), with three times the HP, take over the spawns.
