They hunt and carry food back to the nest, obey the orders of kikimore warriors and can dig tunnels near their prey to launch surprise attacks. They live in Toussaint and appear in Blood and Wine.

How to beat: Kikimore worker

A single worker is weak, but they move in groups of several to a dozen, so avoid being surrounded and use Igni to hit several at once. Coat your silver sword with Insectoid oil and keep White Honey ready; Axii does not work on them. If a kikimore warrior is directing the swarm, killing it first makes the workers scatter.
