Darkvision

A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

Swarm Mind

This monster doesn't have a single mind (typically because it's a swarm of smaller creatures), and is immune to mental effects that target only a specific number of creatures. It is still subject to mental effects that affect all creatures in an area.

Pyrexic Malaria (disease)

The victim can't reduce its Sickened condition while it's affected by pyrexic malaria

Swarming Bites One Action

Each enemy in the swarm's space takes 1d6 piercing damage (DC 20 basic reflex save) and is exposed to pyrexic malaria. Creatures that fail the saving throw also take 1d4 Persistent Bleed Damage.


When deadly fen mosquitoes gather in large numbers, they form into lethal swarms capable of draining blood at a truly alarming rate. Fen mosquito swarms are typically encountered only in tropical swamps or bogs, but during humid months in spring or summer they can drift into riverine areas or even through the waterfront reaches of settlements.
