Giggi

Giggi are small worm-like larvae of the Gigginox.

Spawning from large, organic globules in dark caves, they exhibit unique behavior. When the torch is drawn, they retreat in fear; however, when the torch is extinguished, they slowly follow hunters and latch onto them, constantly draining "blood", doing damage similar to the poison effect, and must be "shaken" off. If Giggis sucked a significant amount of health off the victim, it will be able to do a poison spit. Giggis are a pain when gathering resources or fighting other monsters.

Trivia

 * Giggi are the only monster in Monster Hunter 3 to inflict the new Life Drain status. To cancel this just roll 1-3 times to have giggi fall off.
