This large humanoid insectoid creature resembles a a mosquito. It has two large claws and a wicked looking mandables with a large needle at the center. It has two insectile wings.

The mansquito was created by a freak accident of humans and mosquitos. Any evil wizard that was experimenting to create the perfect sentry created these creatures. They strive for blood, feeding on a nocturnal life cycle. They have a hive mind, which lets them communicate with each other. With their slight intelligence they use simple tactics to suprise their prey.

Combat

A mansquito does to establish a grapple with a creature and drain them dry. They have a very simplistic way of thinking and do not come up with complex strategies.
Blood Drain (Ex): A mansquito can drain a victim's blood with its needle by making a successful grapple check. If it pins its foe, it drains blood, dealing 1d4 points of Constitution damage each round the pin is maintained. On each successful attack mansquito gains 5 temporary hit points.
Hive Mind (Ex): All mansquitos within 5 miles are in constant communication. If one is aware of particular danager, they all are. If one in the group is not flat-footed, none of them are. No mansquito in a group is considered flanked unless all of them are flanked.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a mansquito must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple, it establishes a hold and can use its blood drain ability next round.
Vermin Traits (Ex): Even though a mansquito is not a vermin, he is considered one for the purposes of spells or abilities (such as favored enemy, bane, ect.).

CR 4? I don't know, the "mansquito" tore through about 100 cops like they were paralyzed toddlers. I loved how everyone seemed to think that maybe their gun would have some effect on it, after every other gun failed to even scratch it. Maybe damage reduction/magic? That would explain the immunity to firearms (though I guess damage reduction/bludgeoning would, too). Good thing Parker Lewis was on the case! :rolleyes:

Okay, you just made sitting through all those stupid comercials for Mansquito while watching Battlestar Galactica the other night worth it. Props, my dear fellow, props be to ye.

Hmm, I still remember the catchline to my favorite bad movie off Sci-Fi, Python vs. Boa.

"How do you stop a 500-foot snake? Get a bigger snake."

The stupidity was agonizingly sweet.

Expert 1-3's would be torn through by a CR 4 creature. I did bludgeoning because it when he was smacked with the pipe, he recoiled like it actually hurt.
