The Bog Golem in Return to White Plume Mountain is just a Clay Golem with one very minor tweaks to the stats: its Armour Class is 6 rather than 7.

Oh, before I go any further are we naming this Dark Dweller Portion like the Cleon Special, since the original monster was a "Single Portion of the Dark Dweller"?

Fine by me. I'll add those bits from the Cleon Special Dark Dweller Portion to the Dark Dweller Working Draft.

Okay. Before we get to into that, I'm thinking we shouldn't use the Stirge's Blood Drain description as-is. The dire mosquito is the size of a horse. It's not a tiny thing that "attaches to the target" but will probably be bigger than the thing it's feeding from, so I'd treat is as a grapple...

No, there's piles more weird spooks and haunts in that adventure, although many of them have very minimal stats and descriptions. Did I make a list of them somewhere in this thread? If not, I'd better post one. These things happen.

Anyhow, getting back to the Female Dire Mosquito Working Draft. Your current rough draft is. That looks too close to the Giant Horsefly we used as a base. I'd lower the DEX to say the 14 of a Giant Wasp and I think its INT ought to be 1 not 2. The listed Hit Points of 60 (8d10 + 24) is...

That's a lot bigger than the ones in Dungeon #41. Those had a six to eight inch wingspan, so are about the same size as a robin. They're comparable to a normal Bat, Scorpion or Spider in Fifth Edition SRD terms.

Just updated the Index of 5E Monster Arthropods and Want List of Monstrous Arthropods with links to the mozzie working drafts.

The "Female Dire Mosquito" is the Challenge 3 one. As well as the Polyhedron Large monsters there's also a Dungeon adventure with Tiny Giant Mosquitos I fancy converting, since they'd be a suitable basis for a Swarm. We can worry about those later though.

Dang it, I posted the Working Drafts for the Giant Mosquito in the wrong thread. The above "deleted posts" are in the 5E: Monstrous Arthropods for Fifth Edition thread over here.
