Dreglings

Dreglings are an airborne nuisance insect that can be found throughout the Primus Territory. They are born in and thrive in stagnant, tepid waters and feed on the blood of large mammals. They are similar in appearance to mosquitos however they are much bigger (7-9cm) and contain multiple sets of wings, which allow them faster flight and control. They emit a distinctive clicking sound at night when mating. 
The nymph stage of a Dregling is markedly different as is it land-dwelling. It is smaller and contains a small mouth with sharp pincers. Bites from these insects are extremely painful as once it latches on it is difficult to remove, often requiring heat or flames to burn the creature alive. 
These insects are considered dangerous due to their ability to carry diseases such as Kakwarts and Bloedhoes. Both diseases are potentially deadly if left untreated, and can become contagious between humans. A large portion of research at The Killian Institute At Lexington goes towards reducing Dregling populations as well as finding cures to their accompanying diseases.
