I mean these are horrible things, the meat eating maggots in rotting corpses. Of course there should be giant ones, and their means of attack and feeding should be equally unpleasant.

Resembling a 3’ long giant housefly with detail of its otherwise jet black form picked out with blue iridescence, the giant bluebottle is by preference a carrion eater, but when desperate or threatened it will attack living foes. Its means of attack is horrific – it literally vomits highly corrosive digestive juices on a foe. They are, thankfully, rarely keen to attack. They can be found underground or in the wilderness, and where a huge carcass is rotting they can swarm in massive numbers, with tens or even hundreds able to breed from the site of a rotting dragon, for example.
