They also sport very large heads, small arms and legs, two very large, blue compound eyes, and small transparent wings. Upon maturing, they sport the lavender [[Sutera cordata|Sutera Cordata]].  As their name implies, they have the ability to fly. They are constantly in flight, and can easily attack airborne creatures in large groups, such as the [[Swooping Snitchbug]]. Their most useful ability is that they can carry items above the ground and over hazards. They were first shown at E3 2012 as an easter egg in the trailer, and were officially revealed on April 17, 2013.
