{{flavour|Half insect, half human, Mayflytaurs have incredibly short lifespans but have evolved to be exceptionally overpowered in just about every imaginable way.}}

==Innate Abilities==
*'''[[Short Lifespan]]:''' Mayflytaurs are easily found by Zot; their [[Zot clock]] runs 10 times faster.
*'''[[Passive Mapping]] 1:''' Mayflytaurs can sense parts of the layout of the dungeon around them.
*'''[[Big Wings]]:''' Mayflytaurs can fly.
*'''[[Deep Dwarf#Damage Reduction|Damage Reduction]]:''' Mayflytaurs suffer less damage from every source. This applies separately to every source of damage, every time it is dealt; for instance, damage shaving generally negates the effects of all but the worst cases of being [[poison]]ed.

Mayflytaurs have a base [[Strength]] of 9, [[Intelligence]] of 9, and [[Dexterity]] of 9 (before [[background]] modifiers). They start with an extra [[MP]] point.

==Preferred Backgrounds==
*'''Adventurers:''' [[Delver]] and [[Wanderer]]

==Level Bonuses==
*+1 [[strength]], [[intelligence]], or [[dexterity]] (equal chance) every 3rd level.
*20% more [[HP]] than average.
*+5 [[willpower]] per level.
*At level 6, gain [[Mana Regeneration]] 1.
*At levels 9 and 18, your Passive Mapping is upgraded to ranks 2 and 3, respectively.
*At level 12, gain [[Regeneration (mutation)|Regeneration]] 1.
*At level 14, gain [[Life Protection]] 1.

==Starting Skills and Equipment==
Mayflytaurs start with the skills and equipment listed for their background.

==Difficulty of Play==
{{Hard}}
Thanks to their extremely restrictive turn conducts, playing like any other character is outright impossible. Mayflytaurs would often have to skip floors and imploy [[speedrun|meta turncount strategies]] just to live. These tactics also tend to make My players underleveled, even with their obscene stats.

==History==
*Mayflytaurs were [https://github.com/crawl/crawl/commit/ad05b8d81 added] on 1 April 2022 and removed on the next day. 26 players managed to win 32 out of 736 games (4.35% win rate), and Sapher got a new best [[score]] result with a [https://underhound.eu/crawl/morgue/Sapher/morgue-Sapher-20220415-104228.txt MyTm].
*Mayflytaurs originate from hellmonk's [[variants#bloatcrawl2|fork]], [https://github.com/Hellmonk/bloatcrawl2 bloatcrawl2]. As it was forked before the introduction of the [[Zot clock]], Mayflytaurs instead immediately die after turn 20,000. They don't gain passive mutations, but have a different set of aptitudes (most skills are +4).
