Abilities

Root aphids gather around roots of small rosemary plants. New aphids appear every 60 seconds. Each host plant can only have up to 10 aphids.

Aphids secret honeydew every 60 seconds. Extra droplets are withheld and will be expelled one at a time after each harvest. Honeydew droplets give 10 food.

Root aphids are eaten by ladybird beetles.

Appearances

You can encounter root aphids in:

• Queen of the Hill

• The Culling

• Hibernation

Trivia

• Aphids are born pregnant with their own clones. This explains how they can repopulate so easily from seemingly nothing.

• Stem aphids were originally planned for wood ant missions. They were replaced with root aphids because the climbing system couldn't be done in time.
