		+	A '''lightning bug''', {{monsym\|arc bug}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[SLASH'EM]], [[SpliceHack]], [[SlashTHEM]], and [[Hack'EM]]. It is the strongest of the [[electric bug]]s, with a decently strong bite that inflicts [[shock]] damage and can destroy [[ring]]s and [[wand]]s.
		+
		+	In SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM, lightning bugs [[Hits creatures as +x weapon\|hit as a +1 weapon]]. In SpliceHack, lightning bugs are restricted to orthogonal movement like grid bugs.
		+
		+	==Generation==
		+	Lightning bugs are always generated hostile, and appear in small [[group]]s. They are not randomly generated in [[Gehennom]]. A lightning bug [[Corpseless\|does not leave a corpse]] upon death.
		+
		+	[[Arc bug]]s can [[grow up]] into [[lightning bug]]s.
		+
		+	==Strategy==
		+	As with other electric 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 lightning 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.
		+
		+	Lightning bugs should be dealt with quickly by early-game characters, as their bites can deal decent damage even without destroying items.
		+
		+	==Encyclopedia entry==
