Unmarked Spectralids seem to not fear creatures that are idling. If there is a [[Mamuta]] in the same level as a swarm of Unmarked Spectralids, it is possible to spot some of the Spectralids land on the creature as it idles. In addition, after both the Unmarked Spectralids and the [[Red Bulborb|Red]], [[Orange Bulborb|Orange]], and [[Hairy Bulborb]]s have been added to the in-game [[Piklopedia]], the Spectralids can be seen flying around the former two bulborbs in their respective Piklopedia files.

These merely flutter about without waking up the bulborb, occasionally landing on it, but due to the way collisions work in the game they are unreasonably strong, commonly pushing the bulborb around, sometimes even shoving it out of the regular map boundaries.{{cite youtube|kuO2x6K14ng|of Unmarked Spectralids pushing a Red Bulborb around|published={{date|19|June|2019}}|retrieved={{date|20|June|2019}}}}

*If the Spectralid is resting on a Mamuta, and the player sprays the Mamuta, the Spectralid will fly off and flutter about for a bit. Killing the petrified Mamuta and leaving the scene can cause the Spectralid to return to its original position, which means it will stand in mid-air.{{cite youtube|QDGe9OZ661Q|of a Spectralid returning to the spot where a Mamuta was}}
