Bugs

The bugs are a species of venomous insects who caused the apocalypse in Scratch. They are colloquially referred to by Scratchers as “bugs” “insects”, or “murder hornets ”; it is unknown what their real name is.

The bugs are highly venomous, with one sting enough to kill a grown adult. Over 5 billion have perished from the bugs, though this was before the government imposed anti-bug measures.

The bugs are weak to water, and tend to avoid large bodies of water such as rivers and lakes, or any kind of precipitation like rain. They are also weak to UV light, though in a polluted wasteland like the world of Scratch, it is rare for them to be exposed to it.
