Boigish
"This species of Bogish is of a mimicking nature, created to infiltrate the BogTowns and poison all those within it. It's sole purpose is to kill the Bogish. They excrete a blue venom from their blue, yellow spotted bodies and are cannibalistic and carnivorous."
A separate Alverian making, built to wear the shape of the first-made and empty their towns from the inside. It stands outside the locked Bogish genome and is filed with them only because it was aimed at them.
Body
Blue with yellow spots, three to four feet, frog-headed in the Bogish manner and wrong under the skin. It copies well and it does not copy the dome: the skull beneath the mimicry is thick, ordinary bone. The one certain test any town has is a hand laid on the crown of the head, which is the most intimate gesture the Bogish have and is therefore the hardest to ask for.
The venom it excretes is refined by others into Boig Rot, which is flesh-eating and mutative, and against which the only answer anyone has is the salve the Bogaisha hand down to no one who has not asked three times.
Regard
It is a weapon aimed at the one safe place in the tier. BogTowns are sanctuaries for the good-hearted and will not turn away anyone the wars have hurt, which is the door the Boigish was built to walk through, and the Bogish will not close it. What they do instead is count. A BogTown that has sung the same guest's name at three parties has begun to count his spots.
