14. Bloodbug

Mosquitoes were never meant to be this big.

These engorged, mutated mosquitoes fly and skitter about in groups of two or more. Bloodbugs can be encountered in the wilderness, in the Glowing Sea, or chasing and feasting on brahmin.

Their thin bodies and evasive maneuvers make them difficult targets to shoot. Their HP is relatively low, but they can soak up one to three hits before dying. Swarms of bloodbugs fan out and surround their target before closing in. Upon reaching their intended prey, they will attempt to latch on to their victim and drink their blood using their horrendously large proboscis. If they succeed, they are then able to spit irradiated acid back at their victims.
