'''Giant mosquitos''' are oversized versions of the common [[mosquito]] who can be found in any non-freezing [[savage]] [[biome]], where they spawn one at a time. They are not inherently aggressive but will attack [[Dwarf|dwarves]] who provoke them with bites and wrestling with their wings, which might be dangerous as they're 3 times bigger than dwarves, though their chitin isn't particularly resistant to damage even from peasant punches. As with standard mosquitos, only the females have the ability to suck [[blood]] on a bite. All giant mosquitos possess Legendary [[skill]] in [[Climber|climbing]]. | '''Giant mosquitos''' are oversized versions of the common [[mosquito]] who can be found in any non-freezing [[savage]] [[biome]], where they spawn one at a time.
