		+
		+	An '''arc bug''', {{monsym\|arc bug}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[SLASH'EM]], [[SpliceHack]], [[SlashTHEM]], and [[Hack'EM]]. It is a stronger type of [[electric bug]] with a more powerful bite that inflicts [[shock]] damage and can destroy [[ring]]s and [[wand]]s.
		+
		+	In SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM, arc bugs [[Hits creatures as +x weapon\|hit as a +1 weapon]]. In SpliceHack, arc bugs are restricted to orthogonal movement like grid bugs.
		+
		+	==Generation==
		+	Arc bugs are always generated hostile, and appear in small [[group]]s. They are not randomly generated in [[Gehennom]]. An arc bug [[Corpseless\|does not leave a corpse]] upon death.
		+
		+	[[Spark bugs]] can [[grow up]] into arc bugs, and arc bugs can grow up into [[lightning bug]]s.
		+
		+	==Strategy==
		+	As with spark bugs, the rarity of early [[shock resistance]] sources makes it important that you protect any loose rings or wands in your inventory when encountering groups of arc bugs. Remember that on top of item loss, wands that explode from shock in SLASH'EM and its variants have the same effect as [[breaking wands]], making them far more likely to be detrimental [[YASD\|or even lethal]]. Acquiring a [[sack]] or [[oilskin sack]] is generally higher priority as a result.
		+
		+	Arc bugs should be dealt with quickly by early-game characters, as their bites can deal decent damage even without destroying items.
