Skeeter

Skeeters are creatures which appear in Wyrd Games’ Malifaux universe.

Description
Essentially oversized mosquitoes, Skeeters are six-limbed insectoid horrors with long, membranous wings and an oversized abdomen. They are equipped with long proboscises which they can sink into a victim’s flesh which they then use in order to drink the poor unfortunate dry.

As Som’er Teeth Jones is the only Gremlin known to have tamed these beasts, they are only ever found in his company. Whilst not particularly dangerous on their own, Skeeters are extremely fast creatures and possess the ability to lay their eggs inside a corpse. These eggs hatch after a very short incubation period, and as the hatchlings mature at an astonishing rate, if Som’er plays his cards right with these minions, he may well end a battle with more Skeeters at his service than when he began.
