Carrier mite

Overview
The carrier mite (Dicyrtomina horrendous) is a species of freshwater hexapod engineered by the New Fantastic Army out of an undocumented Dicyrtomina specimen. It was created in an attempt to create a being which would biologically manufacture and spread the New Fantastic Virus. Though technically successful, the carrier mite proved to be an excessively lethargic creature, and generated amounts of NFV so insignificantly small they were deemed inefficient and experiments on the creature ceased. In the wild, carrier mites almost exclusively inhabit fresh water, which is turned to emeraldwater by their presence. They provide a food source for a number of creatures, including fairies and goa nymphs.
