type 61 · variant 1

Intro

Suckers fly slowly towards Isaac and, upon death, fire 4 shots in the cardinal directions. Notes • Suckers are unaffected by Skatole. • Suckers and all of its variants will not deal contact damage while Isaac holds Skatole, but can still deal damage by other means (usually by a bullet fired after death).

Trivia

  • Suckers seem to be based on mosquitoes, midge-like flies that suck the blood of other animals, as they seem to share a small proboscis and blood sac.
  • Bulbs seem to be based on fireflies, with the positioning of their bulb mirroring the bioluminescent organ of the firefly.
  • The Sucker is tied with the Boom Fly for being the monster with the most true variants ('true variants' being monsters with ID x.1, x.2, etc), both with 7.
  • Soul Suckers were added in Booster Pack #4, after the initial release of the DLC Afterbirth †.
  • The Ink and Mama Fly first appeared in the Antibirth mod.
  • The Mama Fly's AI has been changed from the mod where it would fly aimlessly rather than flying away from Isaac after planting down a Pustule.
  • Bulbs have a couple odd behaviors when converted into a friendly enemy by the Beelzebub transformation:
  • If the room has no hostile enemies, they will still move erratically in Isaac's general direction regardless if he has charges or not (they will not steal charges while friendly).
  • If the room has hostile enemies, they will erratically fly toward enemies; they deal no contact damage to enemies either, so this is useless and only results in their deaths.
  • Tainted Suckers have the lowest health out of any tainted variant.
  • The sound that plays when a Bulb dies is the same as when an active item charge was filled in the original Flash-based Binding of Isaac.
