It's preferred attack method is to lurk in the trees until something (or someone) passes by. It then swoops down, latches onto the back of its unfortunate victim, inserts its proboscis into the victim's neck, and begins to feed.

Dislodging one of these nasties usually requires the help of a friend. But if you're all by your lonesome, you gotta have something long (sabre, rifle, etc) to whack it with. Knocking it off your back requires an Onerous (9) Deftness roll.

Special Abilities:
      Blood Drain: On a successful Fightin': Brawlin' roll, the Skeeter latches onto its hapless victim and begins to drain blood at the rate of 2d4 Wind per round. As this Wind is due to lost blood, the victim dies when its wind reaches 0. Furthermore, the lost Wind is regained at the rate of 2 per day (unless aided by magic).

      Weakness: The Skeeter is especially vulnerable to fire, taking 3d12 damage from a torch-sized flame.

      Erratic Flyin' Due to the way the Skeeter flies, a Skeeter dodges automatically each turn it's in the air and not actually attacking something.
