A tiny insect with a pulsating, lumpy body. It is an evil bug that seeks blood.

Admired for its thirst for blood.

Blood Gnats are a type of above ground vermin. They are found in swarms near pools in evil areas. They may cause food to rot, and will inspire an unhappy thought in any dwarf that encounters them.

Despite their description, they don't damage dwarves beyond the aforementioned unhappy thought. Some demented dwarves even admire blood gnats for their thirst for blood and their pulsating lumpy bodies.
