Mosquito

The mosquito was a type of bloodsucking flying insect.

Ecology
Mosquitoes enjoyed warm and humid environments, especially marshes and areas where water tended to form puddles, which they used as breeding areas.

Large populations of mosquitoes were found in the rimwood area of the forest of Cormanthor and in the Farsea Marshes in Cormyr. Mosquitoes the size of an adult human's finger were also common throughout Chult, especially in humid areas.

These insects carried several diseases, including shivering sickness in Chult, and mosquito fever in Halruaa.

Habitats
Mosquitos were a blight on the nation of Payit. Swarms of mosquitoes were known to be thick enough to completely obscure one's vision, making it a challenge to traverse the Payitlan jungles as well as Far Payit's depths.
