The Miga are a homebrew race created by /tg/ modeled after flies.

History

The true origins of the Miga are unclear. Over the eons, numerous stories have arisen to describe their creation.

Many believe they were created at the beginning of time by Myiagra and Beelzebub alongside the other races.

Others believe they are the decedents of a once prosperous society besieged by enemies. They say Muga appeared as a prophet and advocated worship of Miyagra, who in turn gave the people wings to flee their doomed city and the ability to subsist on what others would call refuse. Leaving behind their doomed civilization, the Miga, as they would be called, were humbled. Related to that story, some say the doomed people turned to the worship of a dark god, Beelzebub, who promised revenge on the invaders in exchange for sharing it's gifts with the vengeful. They speak of the foulest plagues, those that eroded all traces of the Miga's enemies and even of their own compatriots.

Another myth is that they were the creations of wizards or cultists which turned on their creators, and were later taken in by the gods of decay and renewal.

Biology

They look much like giant bipedal flies. They have many offshoots, but the most important division for the species are the Dormant and Nomadic Miga. Dormant Miga range from 4-5 feet tall, and their bodies are veer towards average or stocky. Nomadic Miga range from 6-7 feet tall, and their bodies are typically gaunt.

Both sub-species share many traits, though. Miga have compound eyes, typically striated. Their bodies have a sparse coating of bristly, coarse insect hair. It's more abundant on the nomads. Miga possess 6 limbs. 2 for walking, 4 for holding. Their two wings enable flight.

Miga possess a long, spongy, tubular mouth-part. Possessing no teeth, they regurgitate digestive enzymes over their food, and slurp it back up. Miga can eat most things, including things other races would find revolting. They have taste-buds on their hands and feet, rather than in their mouths.
