30 feet. When a creature ends its turn in the emanation, it must attempt a DC 29 will save. If the creature fails, it becomes Frightened 1. If it's already frightened, its frightened value instead increases by 1 (maximum Frightened 3) and doesn't decrease by 1 at the end of the creature's next turn. If a creature's frightened value is 3 or higher before failing its save, the creature is also Fleeing for 1 round.

The Mosquito Witch's powers feed on fear. When taking bleed or piercing damage dealt by the Mosquito Witch's bleed and dipteric dread, a creature takes additional damage equal to twice the creature's frightened value.
The Mosquito Witch is a humanoid figure with unpleasant, waxy skin. She always seems to have her head bowed and her shoulders hunched, a mane of unkempt black hair hiding all of her face save for a pair of unblinking red eyes and a long, sharp tongue that's as stiff and pointed as a proboscis. Fleshy, ribbed mosquito wings protrude from her back. She has six handless arms that taper into malformed points, which she keeps clutched to her chest like the legs of an insect's pupae. Her spindly legs also taper into points; when bloated from feeding, she must run on all eight limbs, which leave small holes in the ground as tracks.
The Legion Leech
Mosquitoes are parasites. Like her namesake, the Mosquito Witch wanders the world before alighting in an unguarded area to drain it of life and happiness. Once sated, she withdraws to digest her stolen vitality.
This Legion Leech is associated with inexplicable wasting sicknesses, bloodseekers bold enough to carry off lambs, and ravenous mosquito swarms that cover and drain a bull dead in moments. Whereas other aspects are occasionally helpful or curious, the Legion Leech cares for little beyond snuffing out life.
