Usage
Fishing
- Main article: Fishing
Termites can technically be used as bait for fishing. However, current fish only respond to bait fish, worm, cricket, grasshopper, cockroach, and maggot as bait, so doing so is not advised.
Consumable properties
Termites can be consumed, reducing hunger at the cost of a lot of unhappiness. They can be cooked. However, the unhappiness effect will remain and there is no corresponding gain in nutrition.
