The chigoe is a hematophagous vilekin, and documented carrier of the disease known as the Creeping Death. After mating, the female flies close to the ground, in search of a large creature to which she might attach herself. Having done so, she uses her proboscis to dispense an acid which softens the victim's skin sufficiently to permit the creation of a cavity within which to lay her eggs. Chigoes occasionally feed on rare and powerful hosts, and thus their engorged remains are highly prized by alchemists.
