-'''Migo queens''' are thankfully rarely seen, as they are not randomly generated and only appear in migohives.  They have a sting which drains intelligence and causes [[amnesia]] in the manner of a [[mind flayer]], as well as a bite which does a large amount of physical damage. One should make sure to watch out for them appearing via [[summon insects]], as this can happen occasionally, especially with the large numbers of {{white|a}} that the priests on the [[Astral Plane]] or in [[Moloch's Sanctum]] will summon. When meeting these in hand-to-hand combat, a greased helmet is advised.

 [[dNetHack]] has 4 migo monsters, all of which appear randomly in the dungeon (but do not venture into [[Gehennom]]). Migo queens and philosophers are both capable of [[amnesia]] attacks. Migo are considered [[Fungus|Fungi]] in dNetHack, rather than insects.

+Also known as the Fungi from Yuggoth, the Mi-go are parasitic fungoid entities which inhabit pinkish, crustacean-like creatures.  These creatures are the size of a man, and their bodies are composed of pyramided, fleshy rings. Where a head would normally be sits a convoluted ellipsoid, which in turn sprouts innumerable antennae: the true body of the parasite pushing through the cracked shell of its host. The hosts are about 5 feet (1.5 m) long, and their crustacean- like bodies bear numerous sets of paired appendages. They also possess a pair of membranous wings which are used to fly through the thin aether of outer space.

Their queens have been known to steal human brains, taking them back to distant Yuggoth.
 Migo are also known as the Fungi from Yuggoth.
