Giant Maggot
Giant flies lay their eggs on the bodies of larger monsters or livestock. When they hatch, these eggs release squirming maggots the size of humans, ravenous young who voraciously consume any flesh in the immediate vicinity—typically starting with the body upon which they were born.Recall Knowledge - Animal (Nature): DC 14

Fly
Source Monster Core 2 pg. 157Giant flies are pony-sized insects that have massive compound eyes and bodies bristling with short, stiff hairs. Their lairs are notorious for the rotting meat they stockpile to lay their eggs in. Their maggot dens are also prime breeding grounds for virulent diseases.
Fly Species
The giant fly presented here is but the most common of these unsettlingly oversized pests. Others can grow much larger, such as the blood-drinking glutton fly, the highly toxic and foulsmelling blight fly, and the immensely bloated plague fly—a nauseating creature ironically incapable of flight that fattens itself on undead flesh and carries a host of awful diseases.
