This is a mutant. It was, long ago made as a weapon by necromancers, but escaped. They roam the forests of Deganda. They have the body and head of a mosquito, but are the size of a medium-small dog, are pointed vertically, head point-down. Also, they have four legs, on their necks, and eight wings, at the same point. They obtain their nutrients, by jabbing their four-foot long, needle-like proboscis into the flesh of living things, and absorbing mana and nutrients. they are especially partial to humanoids. You can tell when they are full, because their abdomen will be swollen and red, with blood. Unlike mosquitos, all of them get all of their nutrients this way, not just preagnant females.
