Notes
- Egg sacks will also spawn blue flies or spiders if they hit Fireplaces or invincible enemies like Death's Head and Stoney.
- The chance to fire an egg sack is affected by luck. It is 15% at base luck (0) but cannot reach 100% at high luck.
Synergies
- Compound Fracture / Cricket's Body / The Parasite: When egg sacks are fired, they will split into smaller egg sacks. Split egg sacks from The Parasite will not look like egg sacks.

- Hive Mind: Flies and spiders are bigger and deal double damage.
