Creature Concept: Mosquito

[Snoochy44721]

When I think swamp, I not only think alligators, but also mosquitos, like Jumaji sized mosquitos. I sadly don't have time to write out a fully developed dossier so here's the basic concept.

Minimal damage and health, about equal to the current phirahnas or the dragonflies. Attacks and "Syphon" induce minimal amounts of Torpor through the vemon in the Blood Thinning Acid they use to drink easier. Surprisingly intellegent for insects. Neutral agression. Non-Violent Tamable by wearing insect Repellent and hand feeding blood bags made from the Blood Extraction Syringe. Utility would be to extract blood from unconcious creatures/players for personal use. Stops syphoning blood if the victim is below 10% health (both Wild and Tamed). During the syphoning unconcious creatures, torpor is very slightly increased or atleast held steady, also does not affect the Taming Progress. This would be potential early utility to ease the use of narcotics. Blood bags the mosquito syphon are put into its inventory and last 5 times longer then when in the players inventory.

I like it, if you want than I can quickly draw out a little dossier for you, when I made my hematovore (blood diet) I did think about using blob bags but then I thought of other sacrificial ideas, I like your idea very much and if they start adding hematovores than Mosquitos should be first

This is a working progress dossier that I even named after you.

Common name: MOSQUITO
Species: culicidae snoochiticus
Time Period: the whole of the Mesozoic era
Diet: hematovore
Temperament: aggressive if provoked or hungry

Wild
Unlike normal mosquitos, culicidae are all female and clone themselves instead of mating and require lots of blood to do so. They fly around the island at day but retreat to the swamps at night to clone, an unresistible meal for culicidae are meganura because of the blood type and the fact that they can feast on them without aggravating other meganura.

Domesticated
While not messing with the effectiveness of the unconscious creatures, they slowly suck blood for your usage and at the same time holding the torpor at a steady level. When caving, you have them carry all your blood bags and while quickly avoiding danger they will inject you with the blood when you are near death.
