| A Lair surrounded by Hatchery tiles — the inverse of Grubb’s layout. There is little value in keeping these rooms after Bzzt arrives. | |

Supervisor's Comments
The Firefly is attracted by an empty tile in the Lair.
It is extremely useful in exploring remote corners of large open areas, particularly ones defended by lava (which it flies over with impunity). However, if allowed to explore freely it can sometimes lead invaders directly to your dungeon.
For whatever it's worth, the Firefly cannot be tortured in an electric chair — placing it in one will simply kill it. It can be tortured normally with a rack.
The Firefly's multifaceted eyes lend a unique perspective on the world when Possessed.
While the Firefly doesn't make a strong fighter, nor can it research, manufacture or guard, it is nonetheless very useful, as it is the best Scout on hand. It will wander around any accessible unexplored areas, revealing it to its master.
If it finds itself in combat, it will act as a Flanker. This trait, similar to Blitzers, will see Flanker creatures target Support creatures, but avoid Blockers if possible. Happily, the Firefly will not be stunned when dropped.
