"While they might not look very challenging, they like to stick together in groups. If you find yourself against many of these bugs, use Flint's Swing skill to take them all out together. Drops Running bomb (10%)." - The Mother 3 Guidebook

"These gather in groups to protect themselves from enemies. They'll proudly attack anything that appears to be weaker." - Battle memory

Spud Bugs are enemies in Mother 3. They are found in the Sunshine valley / Mt. Oriander cliffs (south) in Chapter 1, before being replaced by big spud bugs in Chapter 4. They like to attack in packs, but aren't that fast, so battles can be avoided relatively easily, and luckily have low defense. They have a small chance of dropping a Running bomb, a useful item against stronger enemies.
