Summary
Miggwitches are tall, lanky creatures often employed as beasts of burden.
Physiology
Miggwitches are tall, stilt-legged deer creatures. Their legs are fleshless from the last joint to the end of their digitless limbs. This is thought to be an adaptation to the aquatic flesh-eating worms that inhabit the swampy waters of their home.
Habitat
Miggwitches roam in small herds in the swamps outside Nodd. They're also seen inside Nodd as pack animals.
Reproduction
The vagina of miggwitches is covered in microscopic urticating filaments. This causes the male an excruciating amount of pain - unless he's eaten sufficient amounts of a certain plant that numbs his genitalia.
Behavior
Miggwitches are very anxious and easily startled. While only moderately smart, they're easily tamed and can be trained for various purposes.
Diet
The miggwitch eats a variety of aquatic plants, and its sharp teeth only serve to sever tough woody roots. Their diet ideally includes a type of swamp vegetation - numbell - with anesthetic properties. The anesthetic is an effect of a microorganism that lives on the plant; when consumed, the microbes find their way to the animal's mucous membranes where they then thrive.
Common Uses
Miggwitches are easily domesticated, and are used for various transportation-related purposes.
They are not often eaten, and this is considered a taboo by some.
