Heartstabber Mosquito

D&D 2024 monster: Heartstabber Mosquito. Source: Plane Shift: Zendikar. challenge rating 1/8, creature type Beast, Tiny size, speed 10 ft., fly 40 ft. The black mana that brews and festers in Zendikar's swamps infuses a wide variety of natural animals, creating large, deadly vermin-rats, bats, insects, scorpions, and spiders that spread death and decay with their bites, stings, or caustic saliva. The swamps of Guul Draz are home to many such creatures, from the enormous heartstabber mosquitoes (best represented with stirge statistics) to giant scorpions large enough to hold a struggling vampire in one claw. The gigantic, ant-like caustic crawlers (similar to ankheg) shape burrows from stone with their acidic saliva, creating strangely smooth walls easily mistaken for ancient construction. Gloomhunter bats the size of griffins have reservoirs of vaporous mana in their heads, causing their bite to tear at the spirit as well as the flesh. These and other creatures can be built from the offerings in appendix A of the Monster Manual. Beast Tiny 10 ft., fly 40 ft.
