Savage Worlds Cryptids of North America: The Dundas Blackfly!

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This series looks at the various North American Cryptids as if they were real, tangible beings that have managed to elude scientific observation. Many of the creatures I will be featuring have appeared in other Savage Worlds products. Often times they have been altered and tweaked to fit that particular setting or to make them more interesting or challenging. My interpretation tries to stay closer to the available lore I could find on each.
I hope you enjoy this series and like my interpretations of these wonderfully imaginative creatures!
NOTE#2: This write up uses the new Savage Worlds Adventure Edition Rules (SWADE).

Also known as the flesh eating fly, this is a large species of fly native to Dundas Island off the west coast of British Columbia, just northwest of the town of Prince Rupert. Growing up to four inches long and nearly completely black, these flies are swarm hunters. Their bites contain a paralytic venom strong enough that a few dozen of these flies can bring down a cow. The flies drink the blood as well as eat the flesh of their catch. 

Relentless hunters, they have been known to follow prey for miles, biting and poisoning their prey until the beast finally succumbs. They also use the carcass as an incubator for their young, laying eggs in the remains. These eggs hatch in just a few days and the hatchling larvae feed off the husk for about a week before cocooning. A few days after they cocoon, new Dundas Flies emerge. At this stage they are about the size of an average horsefly but quickly reach full maturity in another week to ten days. 

Most reports of these flies make mention of them not leaving Dundas Island, though some reports from the 1990’s have placed these flies on the mainland areas near the island.
