Boom Flies fly across the room in straight diagonal lines, dealing contact damage. Explodes upon death.

Notes

  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) While Collectible Skatole icon.pngSkatole is held, the Boom Fly and all of its variants will fly significantly slower and will not deal contact damage, but their other means of attacking/dealing damage will still damage Isaac as normal.
  • While Isaac has the Beelzebub transformation, all Boom Fly variants will become friendly, and will not damage Isaac by any means (including explosions).

Bone Fly

(in Repentance and Repentance+)

Bone Flies fly across the room in straight diagonal lines, dealing contact damage and firing bones at Isaac if he lines up with one in a cardinal direction. Upon death, they shoot 3 evenly spaced bones (one of them aligned towards the closest cardinal direction to Isaac).

Sick Boom Fly

(in Repentance and Repentance+)

Sick Boom Flies fly across the room in straight diagonal lines, dealing contact damage and trailing poisonous gas.

The poison gas left behind upon death persists for much longer, but will dissipate when the room is cleared.

Trivia

  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) The Boom Fly is tied with the Sucker.pngSucker for being the monster with the most true variants ('true variants' being monsters with ID x.1, x.2, etc), both with 7.
  • (in Repentance and Repentance+) Both Dragonfly types and the Sick Boom Fly first appeared in the Antibirth mod. In Antibirth, instead of having any stage hp they had 20 base hp.
    • Sick Boomflies would only create poison gas on death and would not shoot out six tears when dying.
