Sand Maggot Young are Animals.
Maggot Young hatch from Sand Maggot Eggs which are laid by Sand Maggots. The young can be quite numerous, with up to 6 hatching from a single egg, but they are more nuisance than danger, for most characters, especially ones using single target attacks. While a powerful Bowazon or Sorceress won't even notice these monsters, they can turn a level into an interminable mouse finger-killing slog for some kinds of Barbarians, Paladins, Assassins, and others. Kill the eggs before the young can hatch, to speed up the process.
- All values are listed by difficulty level: Normal / Nightmare / Hell.
Statistics
Sand Maggot Young do not drop items of any kind. This was not the case in early versions of Diablo II, but their drops were taken away since they were too easy to kill and too numerous.

Defenses
Maggot eggs often become slightly desynched, and may be impossible for players to hit, especially with ranged weapons. Mercs and minions do not have this trouble, and will usually head right to them.
- Regen Rate tells what % of a monster's hit points are recovered per second. Standard is 1.2/sec.
- Blocking tells what % of successful, blockable attacks will not damage the monster. Monsters need not carry a shield to block.
- Drain Effectiveness tells what % of a character's mana and life steal apply to that monster. 100 is all, 0 is none.
- Chill Effectiveness tells what % of a character's cold length applies to the monster. 100 is all, 0 is no freeze/chill at all.

Resistances
Normal Maggot Young have no resistances or immunities of any kind. The Guest Monster maggot young is an exception to this rule.
- Resistances over 99% are listed as immunities and monsters will take no damage from that type of attack.
- Immunities can be "broken" by skills that lower resistance, if the value drops below 99%. See the [ [Resistances#Immunities|Resistances]] page for more details.
