Quanlos

Quanlos were insectoid creatures that lived in hot swamps and procreated by injecting their carnivorous larvae into living creatures.

Description
Quanlos were approximately a size of a dog and two sets of loudly buzzing wings. Their abdomens ended in long dangerous-looking stingers.

Abilities
These insects possessed the ability to see in the dark, limited to. Quanlos produces a type of strong magical venom that, when injected via the singer, acted like dominate monster spell. This venom destroyed the victim's will, and made them susceptible to mental compulsions issued by quanlos. This compulsion, however, what greatly limited by the creatures' intellect. The only commands quanlos could give out were basic ones, like attack, bring food, flee, etc. A single quanlos could control a number of victims via its venom. The older and more powerful a quanlos was, the more creatures it could keep enthralled. The vemon's effected ended immediately when the quanlos who injected it was killed.

Perhaps the most danger when facing quanlos came from their devouring larvae. The larvae were injected via quanlos stingers and could infest a single creature with several larval quanlos. Such injection, if successful, doomed the victim to be consumed from the inside by the insectoids' larvae. The devouring began as soon as the larvae were injected and continuously feasted on the victim's insides until the host died or received curative magics, such as remove disease spell or someone successfully surgically removed the larvae. There was a way of stopping quanlos from injecting its opponents with the larvae – by dealing a certain amount or magical or mundane cold damage. It prohibited the quanlos from producing larva for 24 hours.
