Giant Mosquito
Sucker, Feeder
The wet, humid atmosphere of the Kehjistan rainforest is an environment
perfect for fly and mosquito larvae. Pools of stagnant water gather after the
frequent rain storms, providing excellent spots for the adults of these species
to lay their eggs. Some of the mosquitoes found here are enormous, with
wingspans as large as four feet. Luckily the larger species are also much more
rarely encountered than their smaller cousins.
Giant mosquitoes, referred to locally as "suckers," are known disease
carriers. Their large size makes them appropriate targets for hand or missile
weapons. These insects can quickly drain the blood from a victim, causing a
quick loss of stamina, and making escape extremely difficult. By themselves,
Suckers are not usually deadly. However, if other threats lurk nearby, Suckers
will drain a victim's stamina while other creatures move in for the kill. |
