Few slugs have the flight power of the Hoverbug! This flying slug can carry enemies away in a dizzying corkscrew flight path, and it can also airlift you out of trouble!

Attacks/Abilities[]

  • Protoform Abilities - Extremely fast flyer, can carry messages.
  • Screwball - Grabs an opponent and carries them off in a dizzying corkscrew flight path.
  • Heatstreaker - Visual targeting and heat sensing, can find any opponent or his Slug over long distances.
  • Speedling - Flies in fast, dizzying circles around an opponent, slashing at them with its wings.
  • Outtathere - Picks up a Slugslinger and whisks them out of danger.

Analysis[]

Alhough they lack defensive capabilities, Hoverbugs are extremely useful thanks to their Screwball attack, a well placed Hoverbug could end a duel or make an opponent an extremely vulnerable target to slugs like Rammstones and Frostcrawlers. Their Heatseker and Speedling attacks can be useful. Outtathere is a purely supportive move, that can save its slinger or its slinger's friends. Its weaknesses are that it can only target a few people, and it lacks destructive capabilities.

Fusion Shots[]

  • Kenetic Streak - "Speedstinger" + "Hoverbug" - TBD. It hasn't officially appeared in the show yet.

Appearances[]

Trivia[]

  • This is the first known species with the ability to fly even in protoform.
  • These were one of the few species never seen ghouled until "Return of the Elementals" when the Air Elemental was ghouled.
  • It is said it can reach velocity all by itself.
  • In the Slugterra world, there is a movie called "Kisses from a Hoverbug"
