Gives you charge and is a safe and decent source of chitin

14 points   🔧 Utility   May 7, 2020   Report

Kill it for chitin and charge.

I think they are immortal, right?

Get easy paste off these guys with a frog

8 points   ⚔️ Encountering   Feb 23, 2021   Report

These guys will be the only known charge light creatures on genesis part 2. I’m scared, because there will be reapers😭

Approach Glowbug with your Glow puppy. Harvest the charge for the Glow puppy like you would a Water/oil jug bug.

Same behavior and concept of the Jugbug. You walk up to it with a battery in hand and take the charge currently on the bug (0-500 charge storage) and take the charge from it.

You can put them in a wood cage. Hence free light. Just not sure if or when they despawn.

Other tip said "chiron" meant to put chitin (auto correct).

I’ve never seen one:( but I want to

Capable of being pinned down by a raptor for an easier kill since once you hit them they scatter rather quickly. Good animal for early game, loses out to crabs (chitin) and charge stations (batteries) late game.

put. charge pet on your should IEbulbdog,featherlight,glowtail,glowhorn. and press e on the bug your pet will take up to 500 of the bugs charge a charge batery in your inventory works also.

its also a good early game chitin and meat.

Only aberration exclusive that is on extinction. WHAT IS THEIR POINT OF NO GLOW PETS!?!

2 points   🔧 Utility   Oct 13, 2019   Report

Just get a frog to kill them for free cp

2 points   🔧 Utility   Aug 13, 2019   Report

Use to full charge batteries on valguero since we don't have charge stations here.

2 points   🔧 Utility   Aug 6, 2019   Report

Use them to charge up batteries on the map Valguero!

I think if it could be tamed you need to let it kill you

-1 points   🔧 Utility   May 24, 2024   Report

A fact: they drops raw prime meat.

-2 points   🔧 Utility   Apr 19, 2019   Report

You can use it to recharge your bulbdog and to collect Chiron.

-8 points   🔧 Utility   Nov 18, 2018   Report

You can kill them for chitin, but you’re left with the guilt of killing something so harmless. They don’t fight back.
