Giant tsetse fly

Giant tsetse flies are famous for their ''tranq sting'' attack, which they perform by repeatedly stabbing targets with their proboscis; a long, needle-like organ protruding from their heads, through which they inject their special tranquilizing venom. This venom has a double action - it is a typical poison, which also carries a special tranquilizing compound that can induce wooziness, feelings of fatigue, and about 1 in 5 times, induce forced sleep. This venom allows giant tsetse flies to neutralize targets much larger or more powerful than themselves, allowing them to continue attacking and injecting more venom, until death ensues.
As a result, adventurers must not allow these creatures to hit them, as every hit carries the risk of being taken out of the fight entirely and give free hits to these fearsome creatures. Fortunately, their accuracy is rather low, as they expend a lot of energy to keep their bodies hovering in the air. These bodies lack any kind of armor or layers of protection, other than a relatively tough shell and a moderately high tolerance to pain. It is therefore viable and even recommended to use expanding bullets against these creatures, though and for best results, any reasonably damaging weapon should be applied with accuracy and, optionally, extreme prejudice.
Like all members of the '''Bugs''' category, the origin of these creatures is unknown. Because they lack any magical or supernatural elements, it has been theorized that these creatures are the result of some type of past scientific experiment gone wrong, and that they have since escaped and become a species native to the Uncivilized Area. This particular species being a hybrid of multiple naturally-occurring species of tsetse flies (already relatively rare) lends further credence to the idea that they were engineered, though no evidence proving this theory has surfaced as of yet.
