Pokédex Entries
A Murgaz's venom causes a numbing sensation that keeps its sleeping victims from knowing they have been bitten. They use their bladed forelegs to open the bites they inflict even further, allowing them to drain more blood.
Murgaz can easily slice and sneak through the same nets that protect sleeping people from Kizziff. Larger and more varied defenses are often needed to keep hunting Murgaz at bay, such as sticky traps.
Name Origin murder + Chagas disease, a disease spread by assassin bugs
