The Insect family, previously referred to as Omnoms (ムシ Mushi), are monsters in the series.
[]
Omnoms are created from Level 2 Nutrient Blocks. They eat Mosses and are eaten by Lizardmen, Liliths, and other monsters.

Basic and Abnormal Breeds of Omnoms will metamorphise into pupae after consuming enough nutrients; in this state, they are defenceless. After a period of time, a Fly will hatch out from the pupa, where they become faster and multiply rapidly. Omnoms are among the only monster families in the game to reproduce with multiple monsters at a time, only matched by Liliths. Thus, a swarm of Omnoms makes for a good beginner's army, though it isn't very sustainable. In What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? 2 and No Heroes Allowed!, Adult Omnoms — normally Omnom Flies — can spawn Herculomnoms if they defeat a hero and gain enough mana in the process.

Omnoms have among the most diverse mutations in the series. Abnormal Breeds such as the Poisomnom have exclusive access to the Poison status effect to give them potentially higher damage output, Giant Breeds abandon metamorphosis can cannibalise each other to grow in length and deal higher damage, and Rare Breeds abandon metamorphosis to get higher speed when healthy alongside camouflage. Buzzy Boozies — the Rare Breeds — are also among the easiest to get of their kind.
Being consumers of Mosses, Omnoms are voracious predators in the dungeon ecosystem and frequently seize control without Lizardmen active. In No Heroes Allowed! VR, they can even eat Spirits. Thus, in the hands of unprepared players, Omnoms will frequently cause ecosystems to collapse without them even knowing. However, on lower difficulty levels, it's possible to clear titles with solely upgraded Omnoms in strategies akin to the "Zerg rush" from the Starcraft series.

Insects are Level 2 blue monsters, and when combined on the puzzle table, they become Level 3 red monsters, such as Lizardmen. They frequently form the backbone of the title's more serious combos, allowing for high damage in quick succession. Basic and Abnormal Breeds will become their adult forms upon reaching max level, skipping the Pupae phase entirely.
In No Heroes Allowed: No Puzzles Either!, the Leviathomnom has the highest Attack available, making it optimal for raw damage output. Abnormal Breeds also have unique access to the Poison ability, though the damage dealt is often not enough to justify use. Rare Breeds have access to the Nutritious ability.
