  • Info

  • Misc

Yumbo are large insect-like parasites that exist in the upper regions of SR388. Similar to a mosquito, Yumbo feed on small animals such as the Hornoad, using their razored proboscus to pierce thick animal hide and suck out their fluids. Due to their small wings and large proboscis, their flight paths are unsteady.

Has a narrow profile so is difficult to hit from the side. Usually placed to make jumps more difficult, but is a very low threat. The Yumbo functions identically to the Seerook, Mumbo, Pincherfly, and TPO, so get used to seeing reskinned versions of this common enemy.

Although the instruction manual states the Yumbo flies about "unsteadily", they will actually only fly in a straight line.
