Bugs

Just like with the aquatic creatures, value changes from species to species regardless of the size. That is, a Medium-sized Ancient Dragonfly may yield Lapis Lazuli, while a Legendary Ant may only yield Sulfuric Ore.

Some bugs may be found in different locations. These bugs will be listed in each section that they appear in (for example, ancient dragonflies can be found in both the woods and mushroom forest, thus its info will appear in both lists for woods and mushroom forest.)

MT = Mystery Time.

*Mandoragoras appear as weeds outside of Mystery Time, but pulling them will send you back to the Dorm. To catch them, leave them buried and they will emerge during Mystery Time and run around the area where they were previously buried. They will disappear if not caught soon after Mystery Time starts.

Mandragoras leaves look like the common dandelion-like weed. You can tell them apart by the color of the weeds. Normal weeds are green. Mandragora leaves are blueish-green. Check your town for blueish-green weeds, don't pull them. During Mystery Time run there and you'll see it running around.
